Chertsey Museum's home is a fine Regency town house and offers the chance to explore the past through hands-on interaction. The Museum is situated in Chertsey's historic centre in the Borough of Runnymede, only 25 miles from London. The Borough is named after the Thameside meadow where King John sealed Magna Carta in 1215, now a world famous symbol of freedom and civil liberties in law.

The Museum features the outstanding Olive Matthews Collection of Dress and Textiles, which reveals the history of British fashionable clothing. The extremes in fashion and in the way we dress are explored throughout the past 300 years.
