Wells & Mendip Museum

The first museum collections were housed in the old school room over the west cloister of the Cathedral. In 1928, William Wyndham purchased No.8 Cathedral Green and a charitable trust was set up to run the Museum, having three of its six managers nominated by the Society. The Museum was moved from the Cathedral cloister to its present home in 1932. The important collections preserved and displayed in Wells Museum, and the local and scientific literature housed in the Museum Library, reflect the wide range of the Society's activities. In 1907 members of the Society also set up the country's oldest organisation to explore and research caves.
