Elizabethan House Museum

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

An historic 16th century house on Great Yarmouth's Quayside. The house has been transformed into a treasure-trove of Elizabethan domestic history, with displays of daily life.

The museum is geared towards giving children a real hands-on feel of Elizabethan life, with a play area filled with historic and replica toys, and interactive activities. Exhibits trace the life and times of the people who lived in the house from Elizabethan to Victorian times. Explore the kitchens and find out what it was like to work as a scullery maid. Children can try on Tudor costumes. A small walled garden stands outside the house.

Death of a King
Within the Elizabethan House Museum is the so-called 'Conspiracy Room', used by the Parliamentary supporters planning the execution of King Charles I. Local Civil War artefacts are also on display, including a horde of buried coins.
