Our collection covers a breadth of military history. The local area of Weybourne and North Norfolk is well documented, with one room devoted to the Norfolk and Suffolk Yeomanry, whose story is told with the aid of a range of uniforms, weapons, and regimental artefacts.

Other displays included in the Museum is Medmenham Collection, which records the history of Photographic Interpretation and Intelligence from World War I onward. Another charts the history of the Royal Air Force Air Sea Rescue services, whose motto was ‘the sea shall not have them’.

The core of the collection, however, is our impressive range of military hardware – from artillery to armoured cars, trucks, and tanks. These exhibits enable you to trace the development of battlefield artillery and provides you with a unique experience to see these vehicles, many of which have been restored.

For example, World War I is represented by a 18-pounder field gun, which formed the backbone of the British war effort on the Western Front. Nearby, from World War II, is an example of the highly effective German 88mm gun, which gained a fearsome reputation as an improvised anti-tank weapon, and would go on to provide the main armament for the heavy Tiger I tank.
