Chiseldon Local History Group

Chiseldon Museum

 

In 2003 the Parish Council approached Chiseldon Local History Group with a suggestion to use a redundant chapel in Butts Road as a village museum.  Knowing that an offer such as this would never recur, the group gratefully accepted, and in August 2004 the museum was opened by Phil Harding of Wessex Archaeology and Channel  4’s 'Time Team'.

 

The museum contains a comprehensive range of photographs and objects relating to the village, with a new theme and updated displays each year.  This year's special exhibitions will be 'Olympic Chiseldon' - a celebration of sport in the village - and 'Royal Chiseldon' - memories of past royal jubilees and events. We would be very interested in any photos, cuttings, recordings or other memorabilia for both these exhibitions. We copy these memorabilia and return the originals.

 

It is open from the beginning of April until the end of October on the first and third Saturday of each month.  We also welcome groups up to 25 people who may wish to visit at other times between April and October.

 

Opening hours: 11.00 am to 3.00 pm.

 

Please note that there are no toilet facilities in the museum or nearby.
