Lovely little museum, a bit tucked away, but lovely well preserved rooms, and interesting artefacts to look at, friendly staff. Great History behind the place, loved looking around here

Hidden gem in Great Yarmouth. Atmospheric Elizabethan house, nicely set out & furnished. Friendly and helpful staff.

We are National Trust Members so it was free, otherwise it would be £7:50 for an adult. It was a 20 minute visit. You start by watching a video in a large room with only three seats on a tiny TV screen. The house itself is impressive but small and has some nice features and I am pleased the trust has kept this going. It needs more information on the display and lacks that volunteer knowledge you get elsewhere. Its worth a visit but not at that price for what you get. For a little more investment from the trust this good be amazing.

A great place to visit if your into your historical houses. Small walk around but plenty of history, the conspiracy room is a must to pop your head in and have a read of the rumoured scheming that took place all those years ago. Superb interior design with original plastered ceiling designs. You pay to get in but well worth it and it helps keep the place running. Highly recommend a visit.

A National Trust property, situated close to the waterfront. This particular property has passed through a number of hands, and over the years, it has been quite substantially modified and restructured. It is not one of the grand mansions so often preserved by the National Trust, just the typical residence of a wealthy local merchant. Because of its size, there are only a few staff available, and they mostly work in the shop on the ground floor. There is a short video running on a loop in the first downstairs room, and this offers a good introduction to the property and its various owners. It's worth highlighting that some of the information is factual, but some is based upon local belief with limited documentary evidence. As you go around the property, you get a good sense of how it might have looked during the various stages of occupation. Of particular note is the wood panelling in the different rooms. There are various things added in, such as different initials and numerous carvings. In one room, there is a particularly splendid ceiling of moulded plaster. As others have noted, there was some replica clothing available to try on: even adults occasionally like to play "dress up"! On the upper floors, there were some interesting and informative displays, including a room set-up as a 17th-century birthing room and rather more randomly, a slightly more modern children's play room. An eclectic mix! Amongst the displays in the lower rooms were a number of domestic utilities from the various periods, including tools, utensils, crockery, etc. By the back door into the garden is a very interesting item that most seem to miss; a hand operated pump that would be used to draw water up into the sink. All in all, it is a fascinating look into the past. You should note that there is no parking on site, but there is a pay and display car park a short walk of about 100 metres, a few roads behind the house.
