Elizabethan House Museum

The Elizabethan House is a timber-framed quayside home built around the 1590s, now run by Norfolk Museums Service and looked after by the National Trust. Rooms are furnished to show how the families who lived here got on, from Tudor times through to the Victorian kitchen and scullery, with a wood-panelled room linked to the Civil War. Children can dress up in replica Tudor costumes, look round the toy room and see the coin collection, which suits a family visit well. The museum runs events and school workshops through the year, and the small walled garden gives a quieter place to sit. It is a compact visit, usually taking an hour or two, and it works well as part of a walk around the historic harbour area of the town.
