Bloxham Village Museum is a small local history museum in the centre of Bloxham near Banbury, set on the ground floor of the old Courthouse beside St Mary's Church. Established in 1980, it tells the story of the village through changing displays, including this year's 'Bloxham in 50 Objects' exhibition, alongside a video loop covering the village's development and books documenting local history. It's a good stop for anyone curious about village heritage or visiting nearby St Mary's Church, and school groups are welcomed by arrangement. The museum is open Easter Sunday to the end of October on weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays, with on-street parking nearby.
