Venue

The award winning Tower Museum is located within the city's walls at Union Hall Place. The Museum has two main exhibitions ("Story of Derry" and "La Trinidad Valancera- An Armada Shipwreck ") and hosts a wide programme of touring exhibitions and events throughout the year.

This early and well-preserved example of a small free-standing Norman tower keep is located on a natural sandstone ledge near the head of a narrow valley. Rising almost to its original height, this mysterious survival takes its name from a chapel of St Leonard which once stood nearby.

The Control Tower of this historic air base houses a living memorial to the American airmen and their planes, based here during World War II.

The members of the 448th Bomb Group lived and fought for freedom from the base. Many of them lost their lives in this struggle and a roll of honour is dedicated to them in the tower. There are two memorial stones dedicated to the 448th Bomb Group on the airfield and another memorial stone in the church yard in the village of Seething.

There are also displays on the more recent history of the airfield and on the surrounding area.  

Tells the story of Buckingham and north Bucks rural life, including the Flora Thompson collection (Lark Rise to Candleford author) and Buckinghamshire Military Trust exhibits. A number of the original cells form part of the museum visitor's experience.
