Donate an object

We have been collecting items for almost 120 years and our galleries would not be what they are today without the generosity of our donors.  We are currently only acquiring objects which have a strong link to Horsham history and that we do not have existing examples within the collection.  We are particularly looking to acquire objects prior to the 19th century.
