Fifehead Magdalen Dorset hotels:

The museum tells the story of the town, the immediate parishes and their people. Special displays include the story of Gillingham Royal Forest, Kings Court Palace and John Constable s visits to Gillingham. Computerised slide shows, quizzes and games. One of the star attractions at Gillingham Museum is Fred, the town's second oldest inhabitant, who lies in all his Romano-British glory behind the first screen on the left as you enter from the main doors. The path to this 1800-year-old skeleton is well-trodden, especially by local children. 'Most of the schoolchildren go straight to him,' says curator Lyn Light.
