- Ball Clay Barge Model
- Brief description:
- Handmade wooden 1/36 scale model of a Teign clay barge boat. Flat-bottomed with single mast, furled square sail, rudder, two poles, and a stack of clay bricks. This model, carefully constructed by Tony Hodgkiss, depicts the boat Two Brothers. The full-size version was built in Brixham in 1924 and was about 50ft long and provided an important link between the Stover Canal and the tidal docks at Teignmouth. The model is loaded with clay, which was transported in blocks. Other cargoes included granite and gravel. The remains of Two Brothers can be seen at low tide at Arch Brook on the Teign Estuary.

- Object name(s):
- Brass Microscope
- Brief description:
- This Victorian instrument has lenses of various strengths to see very small items, including feathers, seed fragments and even a flea! Tiny tools helped the owner create new slides for his collection. It was donated by Mr Scawen who worked in Bibbings the Chemist (now the Pharmacy Café) before setting up his own shop in Highweek Street. John Bibbings opened a pharmacy in Queen Street in 1877. The shop front still has the two tall bow windows of plate glass. The ‘drugs run’ within the mahogany cabinets consists of 117 small drawers. The labels record in pharmaceutical Latin the names of drugs commonly used at that time.

- Object name(s):
- Elizabeth Manuscript
- Brief description:
- Handwritten on parchment, this document is typical of the era: paper did not start to appear in Western Europe until the 1500s, and was not commonly used until the end of the century. Parchment, normally made from sheep or cow skin, is stretched over a frame and treated until a smooth surface is created. If you look closely, hair follicles are faintly visible on this example. Only certain members of society were able to read and write in early-modern England, with literacy levels at around 20% for men in the 16th century. This document was likely written by a clerk, and probably tracks legal proceedings
