Previous Exhibitions at East Grinstead Museum

We have an exciting exhibition programme at the Museum, and a new exhibition is mounted every 3-4 months.  In previous years we have mounted our own and hosted external exhibitions, such as Steaming on to East Grinstead by the Bluebell Railway, and Floreat Fonthill, by Fonthill Lodge School. 

 


Sackville College 400 Years of Caring

Sackville College is a magnificent Jacobean building which enhances the mainly medieval High Street in East Grinstead. However, its true value to the town lies not within its architecture but in the care it has taken of its poorer citizens throughout the four centuries of its existence.

This exhibition followed the college's patrons and wardens who have cared for the building and its residents these past 400 years.

Booklets to accompany the exhibition can be purchased from the museum at a cost of £2 each.
