Wotton today is a small town, where modern buildings blend happily with fine example of Georgian architecture. Wotton saw very little industrialization in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the result is a town whose slow growth has left many visible reminders of the past in the streets and surroundings.

The Heritage Centre has many interesting items from these more recent times, from photographs to personal diaries, from mementoes of the Home Front to tools from the pre-mechanization farming industry.
