About

​​​​​​THE MUSEUM IS NOW CLOSED: From today, the museum is closed to the public whilst the 4 galleries are redeveloped. This project is scheduled for completion in April.

Discover the fascinating history of the Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiments.  Visit the galleries and see our unique collection telling the stories of those who served their Monarch and country.  Themes include The Peninsular War, Crimean War, Boer War, First and Second World Wars and events since 1945 including Afghanistan.  Tea rooms next door at The Rifleman’s Table, serving delicious home cooked food, lunches and cream teas in the summer.

We are also available for venue hire, ideal for weddings, meetings and events.  We are located in the serene setting of Cathedral Close and in a Grade II listed building with an attractive riverside garden and open countryside views.
