The extensive remains of one of the most important East Anglian monasteries, the Cluniac Priory of Our Lady of Thetford and the burial place of the earls and dukes of Norfolk for 400 years. Founded in the early 12th century, it owed much of its prosperity to a miraculous appearance of the Virgin Mary, whose statue here was discovered to conceal relics of saints, and became a magnet for pilgrims.

For two years during World War II some seventy sites across East Anglia became launch pads for USAAF’s bombing raids into occupied Europe. Each airfield was home to 2000-3000 airmen and ground crew, most of them volunteers. The airfields became known as "The Fields of Little America".

This museum is based in the control tower and other buildings at RAF Thorpe Abbots – home from 1943 to 1945 to the 100th Bomb Group.  Displays recount the bravery and danger of the men’s daily lives as well as the way, for two years, they made this corner of Norfolk their home.

For Secondary Schools we continue to offer, at a reduced rate, the opportunity to charter the Wherry for groups of up to twelve (including staff) to experience life aboard and help the experienced crew of three sail the boat. A three to four hour trip has been found to work best fitting in with the normal school day.

This museum tells the story of East Anglia’s railways and in particular William Marriott’s Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (or the ‘Muddle and Get Nowhere’ as it was affectionately known).   

Marriott masterminded and ran the railway lines that opened up the Broads and the North Norfolk coast to tourism.  Most of Norfolk’s M&GN lines were closed in 1959 but local people rescued a section to create the Poppy Line and this museum.

The Museum has a varied collection of objects, photographs and archive material connected to the Regiment which illustrates its 300 year history.

We are conscious that most visitors like to engage with displays that they are able to handle. While much of the collection is too fragile to have on open display there are some larger exhibits that are free standing,  including a 'Please touch' display, a drum to bang, a periscope to spy with and a modern day soldier's pack to try on.
