Explore objects from the 14th/20th King's Hussars which are now on display in the Museum. The 14th/20th King's Hussars collection is now part of HorsePower and will be part of the planned museum redesign in the near future. Visitors to HorsePower Museum may wonder why there are no exhibits devoted to The 14th/20th King's Hussars and its predecessor regiments.
Its collection used to be displayed in the Museum of Lancashire in Preston until it was closed. The collection was then moved to our store in Winchester and we are working behind the scenes to display it as an integral part of the story of The King's Royal Hussars. Once our re-design plans are confirmed and funding is available, we will post regular updates on this site and social media.

I decided to make a trip to Winchester on the 4th September 2018. Winchester is a city and the county town of Hampshire, England.
