The MuseumThe Pewsey Heritage Centre collection is housed in what was once the foundry building of Whatley & Hiscock, agricultural engineers. ![]() Indeed, the machinery of this firm formed the basis for the Heritage Centre.

You will find more information about the history of the building and the collection in the Museum History section of this website. |
