More about this scene
Truly one of the finest small museums in Hertfordshire, Ashwell Village Museum was founded in November 1930 and is based on the collection of Albert Sheldrick and John Bray, made when they were schoolboys. Probably its most attractive artefact is the building itself, which was constructed in the early 16th century: the Town House was owned by Westminster Abbey and later by St John's College, Cambridge, and was used to collect rents and tithes. Later on it was used by one of the village tailors as a workshop, but it fell into disrepair; it was eventually saved, at a cost of £25, to become the museum.
