The Royal Hampshire Regiment Memorial Garden & Museum, Hampshire

The museum was opened shortly after World War II in Series House which was built in about 1730 for William Sheldon. The architect is believed to be Thomas Archer (1668-1743).

The museum comprises of two large rooms connected by a long corridor which houses the picture gallery.

The first room tells the history of The Royal Hampshire Regiment from 1702 until 1905. The second room continues the story from Dunkirk to the present day in Afghanistan.

The Memorial Garden was designed and laid out by Colonel PR Sawyer OBE MC in 1954 as the site for the main Royal Hampshire Regiment Memorial. The memorial comprises a square plinth on which all the theatres of war the Regiment has taken part are recorded.

In the centre is a flagpole from which the Regimental flag flies when the museum is open. Four rectangular rose beds surround the memorial on which former members of the Regiment, can choose to have their ashes scattered.

The garden is open to the public.
