About The Collection

The collection exhibition display is based on the different generations of the family.

Starting with William Parker Carrol there are two cabinets dedicated to him.  The first for his military memorabilia, mainly from the Peninsular war and the second for family heirlooms. His two sons, Hutchinson and Egerton Carrol feature in the third cabinet. Philip Scot who married Florence Carrol has the fourth cabinet for his Boer War memorabilia.

Exhibits from both world wars are displayed in the fifth cabinet, which is dedicated to the donors father Tony O’ Carrol Scott and to her husband Jimmy Robertson. The donor of the collection June O’ Carrol – Robertson is honoured in the sixth display which also includes more family heirlooms.
