The Museum Shop

The converted magistrates’ bench serves as the shop counter. The shop offers a wide range of gifts and souvenirs alongside items of local history including Wymondham Heritage Society publications.

The Tea Room

The friendly tea room serves hot and cold drinks and snacks including soup, jacket potatoes and sandwiches, home-made scones and cakes and ice creams. The Tea Room is based in the original exercise yard for prisoners in the police remand cells. It also houses the original prison well.

The Courtyard Garden

The garden was originally the exercise yard for the new Bridewell and later became the airing yard for the Women’s Prison Laundry. It has been transformed with box hedging, ferns, flowers, shrubs and climbing roses. Landscaping includes historic artefacts such as a local millstone and an iron pump formerly used to lay the dust on the roads.
