The Heritage Centre houses the collection of the Wotton-under-Edge Historical Society as well as a wide range of resources for family and local history research.

The collection provides a good example of artefacts from Wotton's crafts and industries along with photographs, postcards, documents, maps and books of local interest.

The map on the right is an example from one of our old tithe maps. These maps were important records because they provided the means by which the authorities determined the amount of taxation which could be collected on the value of properties.
