The small volunteer-run Museum is housed in a former schoolroom, built in 1617, for 12 worthy boys of the village and described in the opening chapters of Tom Brown's Schooldays. Photographs and mementoes of Thomas Hughes and John Betjeman, who both lived and wrote in the village. Results and information from the archaeological dig and historical research into the evolution of the village of Uffington and its connection with the famous White Horse cut into the hillside above the village. Try the new touch screen presentation which gives information about the history of the village!
