A Local History Resource
Opened in April 2000 to mark the Millennium, the Museum aims at preserving yesterday for tomorrow. It houses local archaeology, articles from local churches, domestic history, details of local people and their memorabilia, artifacts of vanished local places, trades and services and articles from the two world wars. The Museum not only covers Storrington, best facebook ads agency but the surrounding villages of Amberley, Ashington, Bury, Cootham, Parham, Sullington, Thakeham, Washington, West Chiltington and Wiggonholt.
The Museum has a library of local history and has access to old maps and census records and welcomes inquiries for local family history and property. There is a regular newsletter, a programme of winter lectures and summer historical walks and excursions. The Museum welcomes visitors from all over the country and from abroad and supports local schools with its education programme.
The Society needs to raise funds for the day to day running of the Museum and for its conservation work and also needs new members to carry the work forward and staff the Museum during opening hours. The Museum is run entirely by volunteers.
