Charlbury Museum, Local history museum in Charlbury, England
The museum occupies five rooms in the Corner House on Market Street, displaying collections of artifacts, photographs, and documents depicting local life through centuries.
Founded in 1949 by the Charlbury Society, the museum preserves the heritage of this market town, which received its charter in 1256 from King Henry III.
The exhibits showcase the traditional industries of Charlbury, including glove-making factories that operated until 1968, along with tools from blacksmiths and carpenters.
The museum opens on Saturday mornings from 10:30 to 12:30, and Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday afternoons from 14:30 to 16:30, with wheelchair access available.
A restored Oxfordshire wagon, which took twenty years to repair, stands as a centerpiece representing the agricultural legacy of this English market town.
