The museum houses a unique collection of antiques and memorabilia gathered together by the owners over a period of sixty years. And you are
encouraged to peruse in a free and relaxed atmosphere. The Museum first opened in May 1972 to help raise money for the church restoration of the
saddleback tower. First enter the Granary where you will find memorabilia from the last two wars, sewing machines, typewriters, adding machines,
local jars, bottles and lots, lots more. Next, across the yard to the cow
house. This is split into six sections; first a replica of a 1920's kitchen, next
domestic appliances, electricians workshop, blacksmith, wheelwright and a boat-builder.
Next to the covered yard. On entering on your left a library. On walking
round on paving stones from the old High Street when it was made pedestrian only, you will see ten old Banbury shops, And a display centre.
Next to catch your eye will be the 1903 Traction Engine, 1912 Steam Roller, Six tractors, a Trailer Fire Pump and many smaller machines and
equipment. Now to the Engine Room - there is an 1839 Lampit of Banbury, Stationary Steam Engine, two others and several model steam engines - all
in steam every first Sunday in the month from April to September inclusive, and also Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays from 10.00 am to 4.00pm.
