Brief description

" Welcome to Lutterworth & District Museum. We are an independent museum, staffed & run entirely by volunteers.

The museum’s aim is to collect and preserve the documents & artefacts which chart the history of Lutterworth & its surrounding network of villages from earliest times to the present day.

The jewel in the crown of Lutterworth and District Museum is its unique archive of memorabilia of Sir Frank Whittle, Power Jets and the early history of the jet engine. The museum holds the original patent for the concept of the jet engine, registered by Sir Frank in 1930. Power Jets was at the Ladywood Works in Lutterworth not 250 metres/yards from the Museum from 1938 - 1944.

Power Jet’s old office building at the Ladywood Works in Lutterworth, from a first floor window of which Sir Frank shot-rabbits to supplement wartime food rations, still stands."
