The Museum is now open for the summer season, with new exhibitions as well as many of the old favourites.
'If you don't like the weather - wait a minute'. Visit our new display 'Come Rain or Shine', with its weather timeline and garments for all seasons, and find out more about that well-worn conversational subject, the English weather.

The huge cast iron range was made at the local foundry in Duke Street. Meals were cooked on it for up to 60 boarders as well as the Headmaster's household. The kitchen, with its farmhouse table and built-in dresser, is equipped with the tools and pots, dishes, moulds and cutlery necessary for a large Victorian establishment.
