Description: | Prehistoric material includes finds from two major sites: Ossoms Cave (late upper palaeolithic) and Wetton Mill Minor (mesolithic). Roman finds include the earliest evidence of pottery production in Stoke, and Anglo-Saxon sites include an Anglian settlement (Catholme) and a 10th.C. kiln in Stafford. Medieval material includes pottery from a 14th.C. Stoke kiln and from Hulton Abbey.
The museum is the principal repository for the whole of the Staffordshire area, and has benefited in recent years from major transfers of material from the Staffordshire County Council, Stafford Borough Council and a private museum at Denstone College.
Collections include prehistoric, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Medieval material.
