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.
