Rlangham Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 This absolutely superb museum is well worth a visit - as well as having original medieval/greek/roman/English civil war/Oriental etc armour and weapons (including a unique set of Elephant armour!), they have a great selection of WW1 weapons. The photos were only taken on my camera phone as wasn't planning on visiting Anti-tank rifle Lewis Crecy dagger Two Maxims Vickers machine gunner Boer War broomhandle mauser and wooden holster Boer War Lee Enfield Mk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Its a corking museum and you could easily lose a day in there... They used to have living exhibits (reenactors really) who would give monologues at gven intervals... very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlangham Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 They still do - however me and my friend arrived late in the day so missed out unfortunately. Hoping to return in the not too distant future though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 We've booked down for a return visit sometime soon as well. Sure our young son will enjoy the jousting and hawk display outdoors. Best bit is it's all free and not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
