Situated in the heart of a rural Warwickshire parish, the Berkswell Museum is home to a fascinating collection of objects and memorabilia that span 450 years of local history.

Since opening in 1981, the museum's collection has continued to grow and features farm implements, tools, lacework, clothes, household items, and much, much more.

The collection also showcases exhibits on three notable characters:

Maud Watson, the Rectors daughter, who lived in what is now known as “The Well House”, and was the first Ladies Singles Champion at Wimbledon;

R.E.S. (Bob) Wyatt, England Cricket Captain for a number of years from 1934;

and

Jeremy Brett (actor son of Colonel & Mrs Huggins, who lived at the Grange in Truggist Lane), best known for his brilliant portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

In 2015, the Museum will be open on:

Monday 25 May, Sunday 28 June, Saturday 20 August, Monday 31 August, Saturday 12 September & Sunday 13 September.

Opening times: 11 am - 3 pm
