The Wootton Museum is the centre of the community, holding all the records and newspaper archives which are accessible to the public.
The museum is of a modern design and has a unique selection of art works outside including one which acts like a large wooden wind chimes.
There are some wonderful things to find in the archives.
Come and see our great museum. You will be made very welcome.
Claire Ingram, Acting Head Curator
