What objects do you keep and what stories do they tell? Museums are great storehouses of stories told through the collection of objects. Souvenirs of place and time, preserved through fate or passed down through generations.
History wraps itself around you when walking anywhere in England. I’ve just discovered a town with a museum named King John’s Hunting Lodge. Although King John died well before this building was erected, it is a nod to him and the town in Somerset which features plenty of historical references and old buildings.
