The Tudor House Museum in Upton upon Severn - Join a Guided Town History Walk and explore the Museum too!

Upton upon Severn's historic Tudor House Museum is situated near to Upton Bridge by the River Severn and has recently been refurbished. The Museum is ready to welcome Heritage Open Day visitors on both weekend Saturday and Sunday afternoons for a fascinating and informative one hour Guided History Walk around Upton upon Severn (level terrain, no hills). Our Guides will cover key historical features around the town, the Battle of Upton in 1651, the role that the river played in influencing trade, the floods, celebrated personalities and much more. Then you are welcome to return and explore the eclectic delights of the Town Museum and sit in the beautiful tranquil Garden, all lovingly cared for by a dedicated team of Volunteers. There is a vast collection of local history, vintage pastimes and professions, themed displays and wonderful collections of old photographs, Lace, Glassware and Staffordshire Blue Pottery to name a few spread around our three floors - something for everyone of all ages. The Museum ground floor and garden are accessible for wheelchair users and there is an RNID Hearing Loop system in the Reception area. Our lovely Volunteers look forward to meeting you.
