This morning we welcomed members of the Staplegrove Local History Society to the Somerset Cricket Museum, as part of the visit David Lausen gave an entertaining talk on the history of Womenâs Cricket. If your group would like to visit the SomersetCricketMuseum then do contact us.


Fulfilling our educational brief we again took the SomersetCricketMuseum out of the CACG, this time to Ruishton, where we were warmly welcomed by the Taunton & District Friendship Club. The presentation covered the history of both the Somerset County Cricket Club and the County Ground



Lovely to 50 or so Walkers and Talkers in the SomersetCricketMuseum this morning, where David, our Curator gave an amusing talk on various âCricketing Charactersâ


Great to have some of the Somerset Women and Hampshire womenâs teams visiting the SomersetCricketMuseum this morning avoiding the rain which put paid to their friendly match.


Good to see so many @WalkersandTalkers in the SomersetCricketMuseum this morning listening to our Curator, David Wood, for what was I hope, an amusement talk - sorry I couldnât be there. Perry Rendell AndyBrassington

Somerset v Australia August 1948 We are very grateful to Alan Ranger for passing on this autographed program from the SCCC match v Australia in 1948 to the SomersetCricketMuseum. By coincidence Paul Gilley, who was in the Museum this morning was at that match and remembered it well.
