Got to love a good free local museum, not a large space but loads of local items and great display on king Athelstan when we went. Loved it!
Well presented, small museum. Good use of audio visual. You will learn more than you thought you needed to know about Athelstan and the flying monk! Fascinating story of local witch trial too. Well worth visiting.
Lovely little museum with some interesting displays featuring local history including the wool industry and lace making. We enjoyed seeing the various ladies bonnets and hats. Also a lovely art gallery at the back with a cafe.
What a place. If you like history and Saxons.
Great little museum that tells you about the local history of Malmesbury. They even managed to purchase an original Turner watercolour of the Abbey. The staff here are excellent. Knowledgable and informative and friendly. If you visit Malmesbury you need to visit here. Dog friendly and free entry - donation if you want.
