Dinky and full of hidden treasures

Free to enter and bunged full of weird and wonderful artefacts as well as classic local history, this place is a wee gem. I strongly suggest making an hour or more to stroll around gaping at the displays and reading the info. Although it's no...More

Fascinating town museum

A compact but perfectly formed museum. They have regular temporary exhibitions ranging from one about the local postal service to one on Kitsch. Good permanent exhibitions, including one on toothbrushes which used to be manufactured in Hertford. I loved looking at the display on 20th...More

Very interesting place to visit

Loved my visit with my client to this great little museum. I learned a lot from all the articles and exhibits, but also from my client as it really fuelled his memory of his wartime youth. Staff are lovely - very friendly and helpful. A...More

A delightful small museum

I took my eight year old grandson. He loved it as did I. There is so much to see in such a small space. The only complaint is that it was far too overheated and it was this that drove us out before we had...More

We went to this museum as we live in the town, but didn't know that much about the town's history. The museum is well worth a visit. There is plenty to see and according to museum staff, only a fraction of their collection is on...More

Great Little Museum

What a lovely little Museum - great Victorian - era taxidermy- including a Platypus - through to a beautiful little courtyard garden that showcases a 1577 garden design. Clean toilets a bonus too.
