In the heart of Sherborne, tucked inside the Abbey Gate, is this Victorian mock-Tudor building. It was turned into a museum for the town in 1968. Although the museum is small, it manages to hold over 15,000 items related to local history, including archaeological finds, archives, costumes and textiles, coins and medals, and objects that shed light on the long history of Sherborne from Roman to modern. The museum is run entirely by volunteers.

I loved how this museum has moved with the times and introduced computer technology to read a medieval manuscript called the Sherborne Missal. Obviously this ancient document cannot be touched but has been copied onto a computer and can be read with a wave of the hand. There are also loads of very interesting exhibits including Victorian dolls houses and a diorama of what the town might have looked like in medieval times including the Norman castle.
