Tom Brown's School Museum is a local museum in the village of Uffington (near Faringdon), Oxfordshire, England.[1][2][3] It was opened in 1984.[4]

The museum covers local history, archaeology, the author Thomas Hughes (1822–1896, author of Tom Brown's School Days), the poet laureate Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984, who lived in the village),[5] and the nearby ancient Uffington White Horse. The museum is close to the churchyard and is housed in a 17th-century schoolroom that was featured in the novel Tom Brown's School Days.[6]
