CATEGORY. ☞ local museum. IN ONE SENTENCE. ☞ Introducing Wycombe as used to be the world's “chair making capital” (as ambitiously claimed in the leaflets). WYCOMBE MUSEUM  1/F. ☞ A small art gallery. Factory and workers’ life. History of the town's chair-making factories. You’ll also find photos of magnificent “chair arches”: an bowed gate made of chairs to welcome Queen Victoria and other VIPs. The rest is an entire corridor dedicated to local artifacts, in chronological order, starting from a lithic axe. The labels are in the process of being replaced, and you’ll see how the rest consists of curious descriptions on blue-tagged office paper.

G/F, HUGHENDEN MANOR (High Wycombe)  MAPMAKING. ☞ This part of the manor’s history came as a surprise in 2004, when a volunteer overheard visitors chatting about the house’s secret use during WWII. Further research was conducted, and with interviews and documents released through the Official Secrets Act, more details of the mapmaking activities were to surface in the following years. This has accumulated into an exhibition in the basement (which is sadly now closed) and now occupying the first (clip) and the remaining ground floor. Second floor is closed.
