The Story of Windsor

This display in the corridor traces the development of Windsor town over the past 1,000 years from the original Saxon settlement of Windlesora in what is now Old Windsor to the present site circling Windsor Castle - itself a major attraction for visitors from all over the world.

'Stone Age to Saxons' display extended by popular demand until 30 December 2008

This display draws on our large collection of objects found in the area, from a huge mammoth tusk of the earliest period to a delicately worked bone comb from Saxon times. The display features Stone Age flint tools, Bronze Age finds from the River Thames, Roman artefacts from Cox Green and Saxon finds from Wraysbury. Remember to look at the file of extra information on the shelves near the cases and to put your comments in the Visitors Book. After visiting our display you may like to see a larger and more extensive exhibition on the same topic, with inter-actives, in the 'Treasures Gallery' at the River and Rowing Museum at Henley-on-Thames.
