The museum is open for the public to explore on Tuesday - Sunday from 10am-4pm.

Ideal place to stay in Abingdon for a few days. The pub has 3 rooms, breakfast is also served in the room. Different bands play on Saturday and Sunday, it could be a bit noisy here. Although you should enjoy the music with a beer in the pub anyway.

Abingdon-on-Thames is a historic market town and civil parish in the ceremonial county of Oxfordshire, England. Abingdon Abbey was founded around 676, giving its name to the emerging town, but the area was occupied from the early to middle Iron Age and the remains of a late Iron Age and Roman defensive enclosure lies below the town centre. The 2011 Census (the last published) recorded the parish's population as 33,130. Bun-throwing is an Abingdon tradition that began with the 1761 Coronation of King George III. This long-standing tradition of the town has local dignitaries throwing buns (5,000 buns in 2018) from the roof of the Abingdon County Hall Museum into crowds assembled in the market square below on specific days of celebration (such as royal marriages, coronations and jubilees). The museum has a collection of the buns, dried and varnished, dating back to bun-throwings of the 19th century. To date there have been 35 bun-throwing events. The central meeting place for most Abingdon folk, the Market Place is a lively place with markets and events frequently taking place but also a wonderful spot for an open-air coffee in the sunshine. There is a choice of the R&R, Costa, Java, Pablo Lounge and the cafe next to the County Hall aptly-named Throwing Buns.

Abingdon County Hall has dominated the Market Place, in the heart of Abingdon, since the late 17th century. [...] Constructed between 1678 and 1682, the old town hall has the typical combination for the period of a market space sheltering under a courtroom. Examples of this type of building that are earlier in date survive elsewhere as timber-framed free-standing town halls. Abingdon gains architectural distinction, however, from being built in Oxfordshire limestone; it is a monumental presence despite its compact site. [...] Sir Christopher Wren is the most celebrated architect of this period working in this idiom, and in the 1670s he was busy on the designs for rebuilding St Paul’s Cathedral. It has been suggested that Abingdon County Hall was one of his designs, and it was certainly constructed by two men he respected and worked with closely: Christopher Kempster, master mason, and John Scarborough, clerk of works.

An excellent stop just off the main road with a couple of benches to give you some time off the bike! You’ll also find around the outside of the park a collection of signs detailing a bit about the history of Abingdon, it’s MG cars and the brewery.
