The Natural History Room

 

The Natural History Room is housed in the old School Room attached to the side of the Church building. It consists of a collection of modern shells, skeletons and taxidermy to try and show you how present-day life is related to what we see in the fossil collection. You might enjoy the Indian python skeleton that drove me to distraction when I was trying to fit together the 321 backbone segments.

Or you might prefer the Blue Shark taxidermy, or the butterfly collection or the unique taxidermy of a pack of fish fingers. This room also has a collection of Tertiary fossils to show how life changed after the death of the dinosaurs culminating in what we see on our Earth today.
