Museum artefacts to go on public display for first time
New items including 3,000-year-old bronze axe heads have gone on display to the public at Daventry Town Council Museum.
The museum is showing the items among many from the Moot Hall Museum Store, taken over recently by the town council.
The store houses most of the items previously owned by Daventry District Council's Moot Hall Museum, however, many of the artefacts have not been on display before. Pieces on display this weekend include artwork completed for the 1991 Daventry Arts Festival, Celtic bronze axe heads dating from 1,000BC found on Borough Hill and mosaic pieces discovered in the town.
The museum is open from 10am to 1pm at the town council's Bishop Crewe House, opposite Daventry Library.
