Bloxham Village Museum is a gem – and well worth a visit – with interesting special exhibitions like the recent ‘Romans in Bloxham’ and a fascinating collection of artefacts, photos and more exploring the ancient & recent history of this beautiful, vibrant village – all set in the ancient Courthouse.

I like the fact that the exhibits change each year illustrating a theme relevant to the village . The range of objects and the accompanying descriptions always relate well to the theme and are well displayed in large cabinets.

The continually running video showing the development of Bloxham as a settlement through time is clear and adds to the interest in the Museum.

What a little gem of a museum. Bloxham’s past certainly comes alive. A great collection of exhibits which show case the history of the community of Bloxham.
