Overview

This large ground-floor gallery details the history of Witney over the last 1000 years, including the history of local industries such as Witney blanket manufacture, glove making and brewing. Exhibits include the town’s old stocks. The Museum is housed in a traditional Cotswold stone building. It was once the home of Malachi Bartlett, the proprietor of a well-known local building firm. The west end of the building was once used as a smithy, while the upper floor was a 'laths store'.
