The Museum is housed in a magnificent building with warm friendly
staff awaiting your arrival. The
Grade II listed building originally the boys school created
by Sir John Leman around 1600, formed the beginning of today's
Sir John Leman High School which stands in Ringsfield Road.
This building in Ballgate was donated to the town when John
Leman died in 1631. Following restoration in the late 1700's,
it is now mainly a brick and flint building, but was originally
mainly a timber framed structure.
The
Museum Opens:
