Oundle Museum occupies the former Courthouse in the heart of this stone-built market town, telling the story of Oundle from the Iron Age to modern times through Roman, Saxon and Medieval exhibits. Alongside the permanent gallery is an exhibition room that changes theme each year, plus an interactive timeline and a children's activity room to keep younger visitors engaged. It's a good fit for anyone curious about local history, run entirely by volunteers and normally open weekends and Bank Holidays from March to November, with group visits possible by arrangement. Oundle Museum is in Oundle, North Northamptonshire, with Corby station 9 miles away, and there are 6 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you're planning to make a visit part of a longer trip.
