Volunteer Trustees Required

Pewsey Heritage Centre are looking to fill vacancies for Trustees and, in particular, to widen our expertise base by looking for volunteers with Finance, IT and Legal knowledge. However, we would be very keen to speak to anyone who feels that they have the appropriate skills and a willingness to serve on the Board. Importantly we have a very urgent requirement for the roles of Company Secretary; Centre Manager; and Chief Steward. If you think you could help and would like more information please CLICK HERE.

The Museum

The 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. When engineering work ceased, the local history society set up a museum to conserve the heavy machinery. This has grown into the resource you can see today.

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