‘Through Wallingford’s Workhouse Door Explore, Experience, Endure’
This exhibition offers families, especially for those children learning about the Victorians, to discover history on their door step! Visitor's are invited to cross the threshold of the Workhouse and discover what life was really like for the men, women, and children who passed through its doors — not by choice, but through necessity.
'Agatha Christie's Wallingford'
Wallingford Museum will mark the 50th anniversary year of Dame Agatha Christie's death at WinterbrookHouse, with a special exhibition highlighting aspects of life in Wallingford during her later life.
The final exhibition is ‘Digging for Wallingford - Archaeology at Work’ - discover more about the work of the TWHAS archaeologists.
