The museum is a fantastic place to dive deeper into the history of Bradford on Avon.
Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, the museum works to preserve and showcase the natural and historical heritage Bradford on Avon and its surrounding villages.
One of the highlights in the museum is St Christopher’s Shop – a replica of a traditional pharmacy.
The Christopher family, who had a strong interest in old pharmacy items and local history, saved many objects from the original shop. When it closed in 1986, they donated the items and parts of the shop’s interior to the museum.
The museum also features seasonal exhibits that explore different parts of the town’s past. If you’re interested in learning more about our town – the museum is a great starting point.
