Preserving and Protecting our History
MUSEUMS
Type ‘Winchcombe Museum’ in your browser and then select one of the labels on the first page. You can read about the meteorite or under the ‘About our Town Label’ there are many sites. ‘Lost Buildings’ and ‘Winchcombe Pubs’ are two very interesting collections of images. Check opening times.
50th Anniversary Celebration
On 16 July we held our AGM celebrating 50 years of our museum being open. David Addison and Mary Greensted talked about the founding and the early days. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude and it was heartwarming to hear of the realisation of Imogen Holst's dream.
It inspired us to redouble our efforts to keep the museum thriving for another 50 years and beyond.
Please come along to support us and have fun! Have a look at our web site. https://holstvictorianhouse.org.uk/
We are are open for visits: Tuesday - Saturday
10am - 4pm (book now or just drop in)
