Bodmin Town Museum
There’s lots to get stuck into at the Town Museum.
Set on the lower ground floor of the handsome Public Rooms, these galleries take you back to the town’s origins.
You’ll see artefacts recovered from what is thought to be the 6th-century Monastery of St Petroc, together with earlier Neolithic and Bronze Age finds.
There’s an exhibition on Bodmin’s very own spy school, the Joint Services School for Linguists, which trained its students to become fluent in Russian.
In the 18th and 19th century Cornwall had a high reputation for its clock-making, and there’s a fine example by the local brand, Belling of Bodmin.
You can enter a recreation of a traditional Cornish kitchen and a blacksmith forge, and learn the story of Private James Henry Finn, who earned the Victoria Cross in the First World War.
