If the museum is closed, no one is here to answer the phone.  If the museum is open we're probably busy welcoming visitors into the museum and it's likely no one will be able to answer the phone.

Please don't ring! Email us instead. We reply to every email.

Accessibility

The Museum is a Grade 1 building which restricts our ability to make physical changes. Nevertheless, our aim is to work towards improving and developing the Museum for visitors who cannot access the house. 

 

Current Physical Access

  • Throughout the entire building the floors are mainly original, and are therefore uneven. Outside the building there are cobbles, uneven surfaces and steps. 

  • There are steps in and out of many of the rooms and galleries. Many of the doorways are narrow.

  • On the ground floor ramps have been installed to grant access to some areas.

  • The upper two floors are accessed by a spiral staircase. The treads are steep and triangular in shape, and are wider on the outside of the step. There is a solid handrail on the wall alongside the wider step and a rope along the mast for grip. 
  • Another set of stairs to the first floor only can be accessed from the kitchen, at the rear of the main building. This short but steep staircase gives access to the gallery.
  • There are steps to reach up to the Garden and Archive at the rear of the museum.

Assistance dogs are allowed in the museum.

Dogs other than assistance dogs are not allowed in the museum.

 

Current Facilities

  • Museum volunteers are able to assist and welcome visitors.
  • A sighted guide for the visually impaired is often available - please ask.
  • Additional information about Museum content is available upon request.
  • There is seating available in most galleries.
  • There are no public toilets - the nearest are in the Market Square.
