WINSHAM WEB MUSEUM
The Street Party held in2012 to
celebrate the Diamond Jubilee
of Queen Elizabeth II accession to the throne
The Winsham Web Museum was launched in 2002 as part of the
Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee celebrations, after nearly two years in
preparation. Since that time it has become much larger, and attracts visitors from many parts of the world.
In 2023,
it contains some ten thousand files and over
six thousand pictures.
Some are not currently on display, and held in the
archive; content is
continuously reviewed, updated and enlarged.
**
This unique web museum is dedicated
to the memory of our late Queen Elizabeth II, who passed
away in 2022, shortly after celebrating the Platinum Jubilee
of her reign.
**
The small rural parish of Winsham is located on the southern
tip of Somerset, where it borders on Devon and Dorset and is
home to about 750 people. It has its roots in Saxon times.
The purpose of the web museum is to provide a digital
archive of its history, record its present and to make this
information easily accessible for the education and pleasure
of all those who visit it, now and in the
future.
