Bishopsteignton Museum of Rural Life
Bishopsteignton Museum of Rural Life
We've come a long way! Our museum is quite small but contains a wealth of exhibits relating to the history of the village and its inhabitants. We have a large collection of documents relating to the population over the years and our curator is happy to help visitors seeking family information.
The collection consists of items donated by local residents and illustrates the diversity of village life over the years, at work and at play.
