| The museum in the Old Grammar School building in the village of Hawkshead, Cumbria, houses a unique collection of historic artifacts relating to the ancient School, some of which date back to the sixteenth century. All visitors are given a warm welcome and a short talk on the school. They can then examine the schoolroom and the upstairs displays at their leisure. Tour or group organisers may obtain further details from Mr David Warren - telephone 015394 36735. |
