Activity Detail Page

The museum has displays in the Abbey, notably the newly opened Cloister Gallery, and in the adjoining Abbey Guest House. The Cloister Gallery, described as the best of its kind in the country, tells the story of the abbey through an interpreted collection of carved and moulded medieval stonework. The Abbey Guest House displays and artefacts pick out special features of the village of Dorchester-on-Thames and its environs, both past and present; the area has been an important centre of civilisation since Neolithic times and the attractive village buildings are regularly used as sets for period films and TV.
