Tenbury Museum is housed in the old Goff's School building which dates from 1863. In this single room we have numerous exhibits illustrating the way of life in rural Worcestershire 100 years or so ago. Edward Goff was a philanthropist who, after a colourful and interesting life, died in 1813 leaving a considerable sum of money (almost £5000) for the 'education of children of the poor and labouring classes in Herefordshire and contiguous counties'. As many as 32 free schools were built, about 4 are still used as schools, several have been converted to private houses or other uses and some demolished.
