ABOUT US
Tenbury Museum was opened in 1977 and is administered by the Tenbury Wells Museum and History Group, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
Its objective is to advance the education of the public in Tenbury and the surrounding area by:
a) Providing and maintaining a museum within or near Tenbury and to acquire, preserve, and display items of historical interest relating to Tenbury and its environs;
b) Undertaking and promoting research into the history of Tenbury and its environs, the useful results of which will be published for the public benefit;
c) Assisting, in conjunction with other interested parties and societies, in the conservation of Tenbury’s historical buildings and amenities.
Day to day management is undertaken by a Governing Committee, members of which are elected annually from the membership at its AGM, held every March.
Current Officers and Ordinary Members of the Governing Committee:
Chairman – Steven Malek
Vice-chairman & Volunteer Co-ordinator - Philip Rees
Secretary & Web Manager – Tracey Morris
Treasurer – David Patrick
Ordinary Members – Richard Franklin, Kay Longmore-Lawley (Social Media), Jill Malek (Collection Care), Tony Penn, Monica Rees (Education & Outreach).
The committee includes a representative from Tenbury Town Council.
Annual subscription to the Group is £20. If you would like to become a member, contact us via our email address info@tenburymuseum.org.uk or pop along to one of our talks.
The museum is staffed by volunteer stewards whose role is to ensure that visitors have as enjoyable a time as possible while also caring for the collection. We are always looking for more stewards, no previous experience is necessary, just enthusiasm for the history of the area. If you are interested in volunteering to work in a friendly atmosphere, help maintain historic Tenbury and become a valued part of the community, please go to the Volunteer tab and complete the application form there. Or alternatively, speak to the steward on duty or contact us at info@tenburymuseum.org.uk.
During the closed season there is always plenty of conservation work to keep us busy,
so if this interests you more, get in touch.
