Wotton-under-Edge Museum & Heritage Centre — Attraction in Stroud

This fun little museum exists in a converted fire station!

There’s ample parking and is definitely worth a stop - if only to meet the kind and knowledgeable people there who generously give of their time and knowledge to get you up to speed on the what’s-what of Wotton-under-Edge, where heaven meets earth.

This isn’t just a museum, it’s a vibrant, beating heart of a community, powered by the sheer kindness and passion of its people.

While there I was enthralled by the life of, former resident, originally from Poland, writer and artist Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska.

It was also cool so see how the US supported the UK in World War II (we’re all in this together ❤️ - May we pray for world peace).

Equally, I loved seeing a photo of the factory where elastics for sewing was made that is now repurposed as a technology space! Don’t you just love history?!

And the best part is the homework I walked away with - to visit the top of a hill offering a panoramic view of this precious town, as well as, a view all the way to Wales!

This little dynamo of a museum packs a big punch - thanks to the kindness and warm heartedness of its people.

May God bless them. May God bless us all....

Extremely friendly staffs with great knowledge of the town history.

My daughters enjoyed their visit here. They enjoyed learning about Pitman...
