We have a Folk Museum, an encapsulation of the history of Tenbury and of local industries. In addition our collection of Tenbury Wells Advertiser newspapers runs from 1871 to 1997 and is often consulted by visitors from far and wide. Collection

Tenbury Museum is housed in the old Goff’s School building. In this single room we have numerous exhibits illustrating the way of life in rural Worcestershire 100 years or so ago. Edward Goff was a philanthropist who, after a colourful and interesting life, died in 1813 leaving a considerable sum of money for the education of poor children in Herefordshire and surrounding counties. Several free schools were built, but we know of no other in existence today. We would be interested to learn any information that exists on others.

For clubs or meeting groups within reach of Tenbury Wells we offer a talk “The Story of Tenbury Museum” illustrated with slides.

We are a charity, entirely staffed by volunteers.
Entrance is free and donations welcome.

DVDs of Tenbury Wells in the 1960s Era

Mr. George Kendrick was a well known and much respected photographer in Tenbury. He left a number of 8 mm films which have proved of great interest, particularly to people who lived here in the second half of the 20th Century.

By kind permission of his widow Mrs. Edna Kendrick and his daughter Mrs. Joan Parker, we have had these films reproduced as DVDs. They are available for sale to benefit the museum funds.

The film titles are as follows:
