A permanent digital display, produced in collaboration with the British Library, celebrates the Sherborne Missal, the largest and most lavishly decorated English service book to survive from the Middle Ages.

Mabel Frances Wickham (1901-1992) was a loved and respected art teacher at Lord Digby’s School in Sherborne and was a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. This small exhibition reveals the town, as seen through her eyes, during the mid C20th.

Many families keep heirloom textiles associated with life’s milestones, as beautifully crafted but fragile objects to hand down through the generations. Experience the public face of these intimate occasions through this thoughtfully curated exhibition.

Our main temporary exhibition revels in the occasions when our community comes together in time-honoured and traditional manner!
