The Loughborough Carillon is first and foremost a war memorial to the fallen in two world wars, but it is also a museum with artifacts, documents and items that recall the events of those wars as they relate to Loughborough people. The carillon tower is owned by the local authority, but administered by a board of trustees. On a day-to-day basis it is run by a team of volunteers.
The museum is a great place to find out about the past, whether that means simple curiosity about the wars fought in the 20th century, seeking information about an ancestor or more serious research about events and those who took part in them.
It’s also a good place to teach the next generation about their history through the people who where there and the artifacts they left behind.
