What visitors say
Free entry, which is a bonus as there is not very much to see. Please leave a donation. They have a tap machine to make it easier. Small gift shop.

Can't believe this small but mighty museum is free! So much thought has been put in it which makes it a treasure in its own right. Loved seeing the hoards of coins found by detectorists as well as learning about the history: the Romans, Bronze age, the Civil War, Industrial revolution and WWII. Every major era in one room - what a mavellous way to engage and educate a local primary school kid. Very well done 👏

Lovely little museum with plenty of fascinating artefacts from the area including a log boat from 930AD and a burial urn from 1500BC. There's information about local industry and former mayor John Bradshaw who signed King Charles I's death warrant. Free of charge but deserves to get a donation from visitors. Hopefully local schools bring children to it. Would have liked to have known why G H Eardley got his VC.
