This 16th-century Grade I listed building in Lancaster, Lancashire, houses a museum showcasing the history and archaeology of the city and its surroundings. The museum's collection includes artifacts from the Roman period to the present day, with exhibits on the Lancaster Roman Fort, the medieval town, and the city's role in the English Civil War. The building itself is a notable example of Tudor architecture, featuring a timber-framed structure with ornate wood carvings and a striking clock tower.
Free entry to this wonderful museum (cash only donations), located in the beautiful village of elstow. Centred partly around John bunyan, his works and times. There are many wonderful links to him as well as items from the local area, such as doors from cells in Bedford jail. Well curated, excellent friendly volunteers. The only down side is if you want to make a donation or buy from the little shop then it is cash only.
The well-kept building with a well-maintained exhibition. The village was visited as part of a trip to John Bunyan's places, in my understanding, it was used for administrative purposes and then, apparently like shops, the meeting room is located on the second floor. By and large, there is not much to look at the exposition, but in total, it leaves a pleasant impression. Also you can get a tour from a quite knowledgeable creator which gives you a better understanding why you're there.
An old favourite of mine to visit
A true historical gem,whether local history or a particular interest in the life of #johnbunyan ,#moothall is a must go to. I personally was there in the evening on a private #paranormal #investigation. A fascinating evening & place I will definitely be returning.
Absolutely fantastic place to visit, the building has so much history attached to it. I went as part of a ghost hunting team as the venue hosts these. Clive, the curator is the fountain of all knowledge, and a fabulous guy. Cheers Clive
