An attractive period house with elegantly furnished rooms from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Costume gallery. Magnificent painted ceiling. Temporary exhibition programme.
This extraordinary building was built in 1832 to thwart the resurrectionists. Coffins were left inside the building until the bodies were sufficiently decomposed to be unsuitable for sale.
Like a miniature castle, the tower, built in 1655, may have been used as a combined prison and watchtower. The belfry served the nearby church built by the river below where its bell could not be heard.
