This 18th-century court house and former prison showcases the history of East Sussex, with exhibits on law and order, crime and punishment, and the history of the town of Pevensey. The museum features a recreated Victorian-era courtroom, a prison cell, and a collection of artifacts and stories about the people who lived and worked in the building. Visitors can explore the atmospheric cells, learn about the lives of former prisoners, and discover the history of the local area through interactive displays and exhibits.
Really cool little gaol and museum, lots of boards with facts and history...very interesting history in the cells!
Great little museum, fascinating exhibits, some natural history finds and plenty of local history, open bank Holidays too.
Tiny museum on the high street, full of interesting history. The museum is based on the first floor with some really interesting papers, pictures and displays from the area. On the ground floor there are two prison cells showing life of the time.
I really enjoyed my visit. Thanks to the volunteer who answered lots of my questions, it was nice talking to you.
Went for a candle lit tour before Christmas and had the place to ourselves . I learn something new every time i go there, its so interesting.. the whiskey marmalade was out of this world. If you haven't visited put it on your list of things to do.
