WW1 Remembrance Centre

The building has bombproof vaulted ceilings and was designed to provide gun emplacements protecting the guns and their crews against the forces of Napoleon 111. The guns were arranged in the gallery and the building also provided armament stores and 9 accommodation rooms for the men.
The building now contains WW1 artefacts and exhibits from our founder's personal collection together with donated items. Our volunteer guides will walk visitors through the timeline and entertain you with exciting and unusual stories from the Great War. There is also a repro trench system. With so much to see, most of our visitors come back several times. There's something for all ages. Many of the exhibits, but not all, have foreign language translations and we have a volunteer who is able to communicate in BSL. With no mains supplies, we generate our own power for everything from lighting to running model trains. This makes us an environment ally green museum.
