In 2014 the museum obtained an £8,900 Heritage Lottery Fund grant. for a project called "Rifles and Spades", which commemorated the local effects of World War I. The project, which finished in April 2015, comprised three Open Days at the museum, three public talks, a commemorative event at Leominster Priory attended by 240 people, an exhibition called 'Our Story' which was in Leominster Library for two months before touring various village and school locations, and finally a linked set of education packs that are available to schools. In addition to its permanent displays the museum aims to stage a different temporary exhibition each season. In 2015 there were in fact two: one on the History of Morris Dancing and Mumming in Leominster, entitled 'Here be Dragons!', and 'An Unlikely Champion - A History of Bill Bengry and Bengry Motors'. The museum building, on Etnam Street, was originally built in 1855 as a mission hall for workers constructing the local railways. (en)
