Brief description

"Formerly the home of the Wright-Taylor family, Baysgarth House has been in public ownership since 1930. In 2004 Champ Ltd took over the management of the house including its buildings, museum, collections and archives.

Staffed mainly by a team of dedicated volunteers, Baysgarth House Museum celebrates the lives of local people through permanent and temporary exhibitions and projects. The Museum hosts its own collections and part of the North Lincolnshire Museum Service’s archives, and is happy to assist with research enquiries."
