Chairman of Marlow Museum, Mike Hyde said: “Hopefully the crisis will be over before we run out of wonderful items to tell you about, then you can come and see for yourselves.

“Entry will remain free and we expect to return to openings Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons as soon as possible when allowed.
