Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum
In the Old Grammar School you find an historic building, a range of collections and a local history archive. Each one of these would be worth visiting on its own, but to experience the three is exceptional.
The collections are displayed over 8 galleries and cover mainly the social history of Kingsbridge and the surrounding area. The headmaster's chair and canopy with portrait of Thomas Crispin, founder of the Grammar School, dominates the original panelled school room, complete with the carved initials and names of generations of schoolboys.
