Wootton Bassett Museum is a local museum in the market town of Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, England. It is located in the town hall which is a Grade II listed building.
The town hall was a gift to the town from Laurence Hyde, 1st Earl of Rochester, who had served as Member of Parliament for Wootton Basset, and was built in 1690. The design involved an open ground floor and an upper storey supported on 15 tapered oolite columns. The ground floor was the venue for local butter and cheese markets and the upper storey served as both a council chamber and a courthouse. Facilities on the ground floor included a "blind house" under the staircase where drunkards were held until they were completely sober and a storage facility for the hand-worked fire engine.
