A beautiful gothic style victorian Manor house; turned into a museum in 1902. Worth going to just admire the interior of the house. But plenty of displays too. Each room telling a different story. Free entry & free parking onsite too. No cafe facilities.

For a totally free to visit museum this was brilliant. Lots of local history plus some great Egyptian exhibits. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the lady on the till/entrance. Glad I dropped in.

A lovely, little FREE museum with plenty of history to tell inside. The museum is home to a variety of artefacts, information boards and props. We travelled over an hour to visit and didn't leave disappointed. Cafe, refreshments and toilets on site too.

It's a long time since we have visited and while it has changed it does seem to been more appropriate to young families who may not normally do museums. A few interactive items not working and the globe in the Africa section needs replacing as the UK has been fully rubbed off. But overall a nice little museum though desperately lacking a cafe.

Great museum located in the upper part of Wilton Park in Batley. It's got good exhibitions on Egypt, Africa, Asia and local interests. Nice place to bring children and then spend time in the park. There's a lovely gift shop and there's plenty of free parking. There's a nice down hill walk through woods to the lower park of part of Wilton Park, when you've finished your visit to the museum.
