Magdalen College Museum - School |
| Magdalen College School was
founded in 1484 by William of Waynflete. He was bishop of Winchester and
Lord Chancellor of England. He first founded Magdalen College, Oxford
and later established this school in his place of birth. It continued
as a college school until 1933. |
| The Grade 1 Listed building is a scheduled ancient monument, County
No. 321. In 1992 local resident, Mr Cliffe Toyne, founder of the Museum
started renovation of the large upstairs room and with voluntary help
from dedicated local people, grants from the local council and fund
raising events the Museum gradually came into being. Artifacts, china,
farm tools, world war memorabilia, kitchenware, coinage, books and
Victoriana have been donated or are on loan from residents in the
area along with a display by the Wildfowlers Association. The Musueum
has recently undergone further refurbishment and now displays a Victorian
schoolroom. |
