Wareham Town Museum
About
Wareham Town Museum tells the story of the geology, archaeology and history of the Wareham area, and has a special collection concerning TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) who lived nearby. This is the subject of a display, and we also have a display on the major archaeological excavations at Bestwall, east of the town.
Do look at our website www.wtm.org.uk for latest information.

Before there was a publicly-funded fire service, property owners could take out fire insurance. In Wareham, properties covered by the Sun insurance company had a sun displayed on their front doors, so that, in the event of a fire, fire crews knew that the property was covered and would tackle the fire. This one is probably later than 1762, when the centre of Wareham was devastated by a fire.
