This Centre, which is situated in the UK Dartmoor National Park, is home to 'The Broughton Collection'. This is an exhibition of hundreds of antique and modern glass paperweights, collected by Bernard Broughton over many years.

Following his retirement from a business career in London, Bernard Broughton retired to the village of St.Tudy, in Cornwall, where he became the local postmaster.

His interest in glass paperweights was sparked by the legacy of a rare French paperweight to his wife This led to a unique collection of hundreds of glass paperweights from the glassworks of Saint-Louis, Baccarat, Clichy, Whitefriars, Strathearn, Perthshire, Caithness, Webb Corbett, John Deacons and others, including weights of Bohemian, Murano, and Chinese origin. There is also a range of paperweights made by Paul Ysart, the internationally renowned glass artist.
