About Godalming Museum

At Godalming you will find a friendly, welcoming museum in a listed medieval building. Oak beams in the timber frame have been dated to 1446, making this the oldest dated building in the town, apart from the stone built Parish Church. You can follow a trail to discover how the museum looked in medieval times and how it has changed over six centuries.
Explore the history of Godalming and the surrounding villages through the displays, activities and computers. Uncover the story of a country town with a rich industrial past. Find out about the town's links to the Titanic, to Georgia, and the embarrassing episode of the rabbits!

Here you will find an absorbing collection of photographs and papers documenting local characters, events, businesses, clubs and societies. We also offer street directories, census returns, registers of baptisms, marriages and burials and other detailed records to help you with your local family history.
