Description: | Life during the two World Wars is recorded, including artefacts associated with the Home Guard and a large map depicting each bomb dropped in the parish during WWII. Between June and September 1853 a great encampment of Queen Victoria' troops took place on Chobham Common. The camp became a tourist attraction and brought special visitors from London, including Queen Victoria to inspect her troops prior to their departure to the Crimean War. The museum has a number of associated artefacts including the Great Camp binder. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Telephone: | Tel: 01276 858322 (Chairman, Ged Mann) | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:4879 | Go to resource |
