Mildenhall Museum
The "Mildenhall Natural History & Archaeological Society" was formed by a group of enthusiasts in the 1940s. Among the founder members were Lady Briscoe and Dr C Parsons. The Society held its first one-day exhibition on 26 May 1951 as part of the 'Festival of Britain' celebrations. This proved so successful that it was decided to maintain a permanent exhibition in a small museum. Two small rooms over the town Hall (the bedrooms of the caretaker's flat) were made available and the Museum was open every Sunday afternoon. Mr Jim Bell was curator for many years until 1975 when Mrs Margaret Seabrook took over.
