Since 1903 Hertford Museum has been a much loved local museum, with fascinating objects that tell the story of the county town.

Following a Heritage Lottery Fund award of £985,000 in 2007 the museum has undergone a major refurbishment and is now an accessible, fun and fascinating museum where everyone can enjoy, engage with and be inspired by their heritage.

You can now take a virtual tour of the refurbished Hertford Museum using our 360° panoramas.

Exhibition: Hertingfordbury & The Greens

Saturday 14th January – Friday 28th April 2012
Tuesday – Saturday, 10.00 am – 5.00 pm  Free entry

For the next part of our High Streets and Hedgerows series we have turned our attention to Hertingfordbury and the Greens. Researching the area we have found it has all kinds of stories to tell! From the rich and powerful Cowper family at Panshanger Park to Jane Wenham, the last woman to be sentenced to death for witchcraft, as well as the stories of many artists and poets who have been inspired by the area, agricultural labourers through the history of the village and even evidence of prehistoric settlers.
