Brentwood Musuem, in Lorne Road, Warley Hill (part of Brentwood West ward) is open this Sunday, and the first Sunday of every month from April to October between 2.30pm and 4.30pm and entrance is free!

Brentwood Museum is housed in a picturesque 19th century building (once a sexton’s cottage), and although small it offers a fascinating insight into Brentwood life in the early part of this century, with an exciting collection of social and domestic objects dating from around 1840-1950.

Combine your visit with Lorne Road Nature Reserve adjacent to the museum, a peaceful and now disused cemetery where the graves are an interesting and varied collection, some maintained under the auspices of the War Graves Commission bearing witness to the enormous number of troop movements that passed through Brentwood during the First World War.

Wave if you see me!  I might well be in my mum’s garden, which looks over the museum!
