Abingdon, Englands oldest, continuously inhabited town, has its very own museum which displays many collections unique to Abingdon
The county Hall in the centre of Abingdon is the home of the Abingdon Museum.
An Anglo-Saxon ring found locally is one of Abingdon museums most recent acquisitions.
The roof of County Hall gives a wonderful panoramic view of Abingdon and the surrounding countryside and is also the venue for Abingdon's traditional Bun Throwing ceremonies to mark Royal occasions.
The roof is open on fine Saturdays in the summer, fascinating for photographers. artists and others interested in the view of this beautiful region.
