Whittlesey Museum
About This Museum
People pop into the Whittlesey Museum for a genuine and friendly dose of local history, finding a treasure trove of stories tucked away in the old Town Hall. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose an hour, piecing together the lives of Fenland folk through their everyday objects and remarkable achievements. You'll find everything from intricate lace made by local hands to relics from the town's Roman past. It feels less like a formal museum and more like a chat with a knowledgeable neighbour who loves their town's history.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning Whittlesey Straw Bear, a unique tradition brought to life, and don't miss the fascinating exhibits on the local brickmaking industry that built much of London.
