Arts & Culture
History of Science Museum
Broad Streetit's interesting! But beware it's not open long hours.
It's a Norman abbey, it's well conserved, it's still in use, there is the grave yard with its beautiful flowers. Next door is the local museum and, in the summer, the tea room run by local volunteers (I warmly recommend it, it's delicious).
