Brentwood Museum

Lorne Road 

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.

In 1993, the Museum was granted formal registration with the Museums and galleries Commission, one of just a handful of Essex Museums to gain such recognition, and all the more remarkable since it is staffed entirely by volunteers.

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.

The museum is open April - October between 2:30pm-4:30pm on the first Sunday of each month.  Car parking is free.  For further information, please see the Brentwood Museum leaflet.
