Charlbury Museum News - New Acquisition
'In Charlbury' an engraving by Joseph Winkelman, 1979, was acquired by Charlbury Museum in April 2026 for its collection. Joseph lived at Heathfield, Browns Lane from the late 1970s until the early 1980s; he was born in Iowa, USA and studied Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Drawing.
Joseph created numerous etchings and aquatints of Charlbury and the surrounding area, his prints are in numerous public collections. Now Charlbury Museum is the proud owner of one of his works. His etching captures the traffic chaos in Browns Lane in the late '70s , before it became a one-way street!
Come and take a close look, and enjoy some of the other paintings and prints on display in the museum.

Join us for a magical evening of Gilbert and Sullivan's rarely performed comic opera, The Sorcerer, performed in concert in the beautiful setting of St Mary's Church, Charlbury.
When young Alexis persuades a sorcerer to brew a love potion for his entire village, chaos — and comedy — ensue. This sparkling production features professional soloists alongside a talented local chorus, bringing one of G&S's most charming works to life.
Set against the backdrop of an English village green, The Sorcerer blends wit, romance, and memorable tunes in a show the whole family will enjoy.
Want to sing in the community chorus? We'd love to have you! book your place through ticket master. Please note that rehearsals will be from 1:00 PM on Saturday 20 June, ahead of the evening performance.
