‘Our Warwickshire’ will celebrate and promote access to heritage within Warwickshire communities, as well as significantly improving the experience for visitors to Market Hall Museum, Warwick. It will also offer a new online platform enabling communities beyond Warwick to share and celebrate their heritage.

Cllr Jeff Clarke, who holds the Environment portfolio for Warwickshire County Council, said: “Collaboration is at the heart of this project. Heritage and Culture Warwickshire, Warwickshire Local History Society and the Friends of Warwickshire County Record Office will work together with partners and visitors, filling real and virtual spaces with our county’s heritage.”
