Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Jury Street within Warwick's historic Court House, the Warwickshire Yeomanry Museum feels like a quiet conversation with the past. You won't find sprawling, impersonal halls here; instead, the space tells an intimate story of a local regiment through the very objects its soldiers carried and wore. Gleaming silver trumpets and meticulously preserved uniforms stand shoulder-to-shoulder with more personal effects, like letters and photographs, that give a human face to history. It’s a thoughtfully curated collection that prioritizes personal connection over sheer spectacle.
Collection Highlights
Look for the distinct Yeomanry uniforms with their unique buttons and insignia, a display of historic cavalry swords and lances that speaks to their original role, and poignant personal diaries that open a window into a soldier's daily life.

Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in Warwick's elegant old Court House, a handsome Georgian-style building of warm stone that lends the collection an air of dignified permanence.
