Garlick Collection

Objects given in 1932 by Herbert Garlick, a local butcher, formed the earliest collection at Trowbridge Museum.

He was interested in the history of his town and collected prints, paintings, photographs and maps. There are only 90 items in this collection which was used by Trowbridge Urban District Council to decorate the walls of the Town Hall.

With money left by Herbert's brother Perkins, the Town Council finally set up a Museum in the Garlick Room of the Civic Hall in 1976.

For all of our collections, there is always so much more to see if you visit the Museum. Call Trowbidge Museum on 01225 751339 or email us for more information: info@trowbridgemuseum.co.uk
