Brightlingsea Museum, Welcome to Brightlingsea Town Guide. In the Reading Room there is a feature on Brightlingsea notables including Leonard Southern, Noble Eagle, Canon Pertwee and Douglas Went and in the upper room there is an exhibition of roman finds from Moverons, together with a collection of artefacts showing Dr Dicken's many interests. The World War 1 Exhibition has been extended to cover the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty and the Colne Smack preservation Society has made an impressive addition to the display with items from its own collection. The Museum is supported by the 'Friends of Brightlingsea Museum'.
New members are always welcome.
