MUSEUM SHOP

Our shop is small but well stocked with items that reflect the exhibitions on display as well as providing souvenirs which are unique to the Museum, such as the Diana Ruth Wilson botanical cards and the tea-towel featuring our medieval wall-painting. Books for sale focus on local history from publications on the Sherborne Missal to memories of evacuees during WWII and the town's silk industry. There are plenty of small items within pocket money range, too, such as our ever-popular mini fossils in a magnifier box and pencils made from recyclable materials.

Our research team produce in-house pamphlets on aspects of Sherborne's past that interest them; these are eminently collectable and cost only £1 each.

During the summer, volunteers bring in home-grown plants and fresh produce from their gardens to sell and don't forget to look at our second-hand books, where paperbacks are 50p and hardbacks are £1.
