Uffington Museum 


​"... one of the best small museums in Oxfordshire"

The museum building dates from the early 17th century and was, over the next 250
years, Uffington’s village school which was funded by a bequest from local merchant, Thomas Saunders.
​For the next century the building fulfilled a number of different roles before becoming home to the museum in 1984. The museum is run by volunteers; there are no paid positions.
The museum is financed entirely by donations, grants and membership fees, and remains free to visit.
