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. |

The museum is operated by the Hawkshead Grammar School Foundation, whose main purpose is to provide grants to young people to assist their further education, vocational training, or entry into work. They must come from the Ancient Parish of Hawkshead to be eligible. |
