Brief description

"The museum is located in the stable block of the former Mark Hall Manor House – visited on three occasions by Queen Elizabeth I.

It is surrounded by the beautiful 16th century walled gardens which make a perfect picnic spot in the spring and summer.

The museum’s 3 galleries tell the story of Harlow, displaying local finds from a mammoth tusk to the remarkable local Roman collection, discovered in part at Harlow’s Roman temple site nearby.  

There is a temporary exhibition programme with a focus on integrating items from the collection with national events.

The museum is also home to the John Collins Cycle Collection which, amongst over 50 bicycles, includes 5 Penny Farthings, a Quintuplet, a rare Hobby Horse and Rayleigh Bomber. "
