Oundle's Attractions - Oundle Museum


The Oundle Museum is one of Oundles gems, packed full of a wealth of information on Oundle and the local area. 

Oundle Museum is in the former Courthouse and is an independent museum wholly staffed by volunteers.



The museum has won numerous awards and features displays about Oundles history from the prehistoric to modern times including many exhibits from the Roman, Saxon and Medieval periods. Next to their permanent display gallery  features an exhibition room which changes each year - so there is always something new to see for the young and old alike.



The Museum is open March to November on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 2 pm. to 5 pm and for groups by special arrangement. The museum has free car parking nearby and admission is free, plus it is brilliant for a visit when the weather is a little wet!



We are indebted to the Museum and Jim Irving for his enormous help in researching the past of the Talbot Hotel, and we were honoured to have him officially open our hotel after the renovations in June. 



Just a short walk from the hotel, we strongly encourage you to visit and learn more about Oundles rich history.
