The museum was housed in an 18th-century Grade II* listed building[1] with formal Victorian style gardens to the rear, formerly used as the offices of Fareham Urban District from 1934 to 1976. Westbury Manor Museum opened in 1990.[2]
In 2014 management of the museum was transferred to Hampshire Cultural Trust as part of a larger transfer of museums from Hampshire County Council and Winchester City Council. The museum closed to the public on 31 December 2024. [3]"
