Aldbourne Heritage Centre

It is managed by the Aldbourne Community Heritage Group (ACHG), which also organises talks and events on topics related to local history.

The Heritage Centre is a member of the South Western Federation of Museums and Art Galleries.

In 2015 it was a partner in Wiltshire Museum's project "Wiltshire's Story in 100 Objects",[1] a touring exhibition celebrating the rich history of the county, having provided an 18th-century crotal bell cast in Aldbourne as one of the 100 objects.

The Centre presents a changing set of displays, covering a diverse range of subjects, such as: Objects on display include prehistoric flints used as tools and recovered from local Bronze Age barrows; two replicas of the Aldbourne Cup, one in its current, aged and reconstructed state, and a second in its original state (the original is on display at the British Museum); copies of mediaeval and Tudor documents relating to the exercise of manorial rights by the Duchy of Lancaster and the judgments of manorial courts; a range of hand-bells and crotal bells made in Aldbourne by the Corr and Wells families (and others); a 19th-century fireman’s helmet; items of Victorian (and earlier) agricultural hand tools; items relating to the wartime residence of US military personnel in the village; and thousands of photographs of life in Aldbourne from the mid-Victorian period to the present day.

The centre is open on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays throughout the summer.
