A wonderful little museum. Lots of interesting eclectic displays that triggered conversations. So fortunate to have volunteer Barry on hand to enhance our already great experience. Thank you Barry. I hope you and your colleagues know the difference you make.
Nice building, small though.
The town of Winchelsea is unique and a recommended visit when in East Sussex. The museum sheds light on the history of the town and is located in a historic building itself.
Small but lots of interesting things to look through and do. I would recommend anyone visiting the Rye or Hastings area to go. Showing a few local antiquities and details o the coastline movement over the past few hundred years.
