Brief description

"The Museum has some 15,500 objects in its collection, many are part of the museums permanent display. Each year the museum tries to create three to four special exhibitions that feature something that is perhaps topical or alternatively explore a subject in more depth. As well as physical objects we also have a large number of local photographs and these are available to explore via the museums computers. Similarly we have an extensive collection of historic documents and these are catalogued on the computer.  You can find out more about some of these aspects of our collection via the sub menu associated with this topic."

Directions

"The Museum is located in Ballygate, Beccles. It is a short walk from St Michael's Church and its tower, which dominates the centre of town. With your back to the church, walk past the Swan House Inn on your left and then past Barclays Bank also on your left, taking you into Ballygate. 400 metres up Ballygate on the right hand side you will see the flint-fronted Grade 1 listed 16th Century building, Leman House, that accommodates the Museum.

If arriving by train or by boat, it is possible to walk from the railway station and from Beccles Quay on the River Waveney.

Once at the Museum building, enter the garden through the pedestrian gate off the pavement and walk round to the back of the building, where you will see the porch and entrance.

DISABLED ACCESS: For anyone unable to manage the three steps into the museum entrance we have a separate disabled entrance, please ring the door bell and a Steward will open the door. Once in the museum there is a lift that circumvents the short flight of steps down to the School Room."
