Museum

The Museum was founded in 1974 and today contains a varied and impressive collection of artefacts illustrating the roles, arms and uniforms adopted by the Berkshire Yeomanry since its beginnings in 1794. The Museum is owned and funded by a small charitable trust whose aims are educating the public in the history of the regiment through (i) caring, improving and preserving the Museum’s collection (ii) upholding of the traditions of the Berkshire Yeomanry and (iii) perpetuating the regiment’s deeds including maintaining regimental memorials.

In recent years the Museum has expanded its archive and now has a considerable amount of detail relating to the officers and soldiers who served in the regiment. Museum staff regularly handle enquiries from family descendants and from those undertaking research into local or military history.
