This museum showcases a collection of artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of Sherborne's history and heritage, with a focus on its medieval past, the town's role in the English Civil War, and its connections to notable figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and John Steinbeck. The museum is housed in a 16th-century timber-framed building and features interactive displays, artifacts, and exhibits that explore the town's history, geology, and natural history.

Very interesting place, lots to look at , people that run it are very knowledgeable, it's free to look around
A nice little museum with very friendly staff. I visited with my 3 young boys and they had lots of fun finding the faces on the activity sheet. It is well kept and the gift shop is very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.
Took my 85yo father as I knew he would enjoy seeing some of the vehicles he would have owned and driven during his driving years. I don't know who enjoyed it more me or him. Certainly took me back to my childhood and remembrance of some of the family cars and fond memories from travelling places in them. Great inside and outdoor facilities and cafe. There's a go karting track right next door if your feeling a little adventurous with a decent sized out side track.
