About
Yelverton Paperweight Centre was a paperweight museum and supplier in Leg O'Mutton, a small hamlet near Yelverton, in the English county of Devon. The museum began as the private collection of a Cornish postmaster, and grew to contain over 1,200 items. It was featured in the humorous travel book, More Bollocks to Alton Towers, which suggested that, "Even if you're sceptical when you arrive, you'll be amazed long before you leave". As of 2015, the Paperweight Centre had closed and the building was up for sale.
