A great and fun place to visit, the 'Shere Museum'. Shere Museum is housed in the original Shere Parish Hall in Gomshall Lane, which was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1898. When the men of Shere returned from serving in the First World War the Parish wished to honour them, by completing the present Village Hall (to the right of this building) in 1922. The Parish Hall then became available for The Shere Working Men's Club. The Shere Working Men's Club closed in 1997 and the hall lay empty until 2006 when a team of volunteers started work on converting the building to house the museum collection. Shere Museum opened in the Old Malt House as a one-day event in 1984, part of Shere's annual "Fair in the Square". The core of the exhibition came from an accumulation of domestic and agricultural items left by the previous owners. In 2009, after 25 years as a collection in a private house, the museum was moved to new premises converted from the former Working Men's Club. |

The oldest open air pool in Britain? In 1875 Lady Arthur Russell had a swimming pool built in the middle of Shere so that her six sons could learn to swim. Later she presented it to the village so that the local boys and girls could also learn to swim. Members of the Russell family still live just outside Shere. In 1899 the pool was handed over to the Parish Council which continues to be responsible for it to the present day. It was then used as a public pool, said to be the first public open air pool in Britain. READ MORE |
Established in 1871 An interesting historical fact about this is that the Peter Pan creator, JM Barrie captained his own cricket team (Allahakbarries) to play Shere Village XI (1887) in Shere. Other members of the team were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes), A.A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh) and P.G.Wodehouse, to play the Shere village XI in Shere.
