We can now offer free tours of our newly configured space at Okehampton Police Station. Please see the photo for dates & use the email address: [email protected] to book. We are taking a break from now & over the Christmas period, but we will answer/confirm places from early January.

From our objects collection, a Victorian tipstaff 1851 from Redruth, Cornwall. Ornate wood carved crown, painted with some gilding. Given to the local parish constable as his 'badge of office'.
