Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Cooking Book discovered in an Abbey in Gloucestershire. Supposed to have been written by a Gentleman's Housekeeper in the Year 1790 [date struck through]. The title as given above is found on the first leaf, written in a hand of the first half of the 19th cent. The date 1790 seems too late, and the earlier part of the MS. appears to be in a script of the first quarter of the 18th cent.
