ONE of Wiltshire's smallest museums, Market Lavington Village Museum, now has its own website.

It has been created as part of Window on Wiltshire's Heritage, a major project which is being run by the county council and funded by the Lotto-backed New Opportunities Fund.

The museum, housed in the picturesque old schoolmaster's house in the village and built in 1846, has a collection illustrating village life, mainly from Victorian times to the present day.

The new website, which can be accessed at www.mlmuseum.org.uk, features a colourful room-by-room guide to the museum as well as a wonderful selection of historic photographs.

These include village views, events and local people from the late-19th century onwards, and images showing items from the collection relating to local trades, such as a dew pond digger's bottle, as well as domestic items.
