109a High Street, Godalming Surrey. GU7 1AQ
The Museum records
the history of a quiet country town with many traces of a rich industrial
past, notably in cloth making and knitting. It was also the first town in
the world to have a public electricity supply. Come and see our new
display commemorating our local hero Jack Philips, radio operator on the
Titanic during her ill-fated maiden voyage, and see some memorabilia of
the ship, kindly lent by one of our volunteers.
Travel through time
from the rocks and fossils of millions of years ago, past Egyptian
pyramids until you enter the world of the Victorian collections. Enjoy
your journey!

Anglo-Saxon finds; Ashtead pottery (1923 to 1935); Ronson lighters and
Goblin items; models of Hampton Cottage and a Roman Villa at Ashtead; and
