Interesting place to visit, free admission but they do rely on donations and suggest a very reasonable £2 a person. Quite a lot to see on multiple floors. Glad we popped in for a look around. If you are in the area do pop in!
As museum go it's not very big but well worth looking around as there is plenty to see...The building it self is very historical with all the lovely old wooden beams and supporting posts...what fascinated us was one particular man by the name of Charles Babage,the things he started to invent all those years ago is almost unbelievable....Back in the 18th century he came up ideas about computers and submarines etc,you would never imagined people thinking like that all those years ago...What a clever man he was...The whole museum is so interesting to look around
Free entrance, rely on donations only. Friendly staff, was given a map with explanation of every room. Well worth a visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Happy tourists today in the Museum, lot's of exhibitions featuring Totnes coins and bottles.
Great museum in Totnes. Exhibits range from really ancient to fairly recent. I especially liked the section on Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. We spent around an hour in the museum and although it is a free attraction we left a small donation. Well worth a visit
Great place to visit and friendly assistance . Like stepping back in time . No charge just voluntary donations to look throughout Elizabethan house and it’s garden . Recommend a visit . It is so easy to pass by as I have done in the past but well worth a visit .Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Fantastic little Museum Set in an old Elizabethan merchant's house and on three levels. The Museum, has collections dating from 5000BC, and many items showing the lifestyle of a merchant in the Elizabethan times. One room is dedicated to the most famous Totnesian Charles Babbage. Babbage went to the Totnes grammarians school then onto Cambridge. This mathematician and his inventions have contributed to the likes of the current computer, a way of sending signals over great distances and many more to mention. A most interesting and compact Museum. Fully recommend it.
Free entry. Level access to ground floor only. A little gem in the High Street. There are some surprising artifacts and information considering this is only a town museum. Well worth a visit. Museum relies on donations, which can be made on the way out...and you will find yourself wanting to donate. The building itself is also very interesting as is the little courtyard. A good addition to any Totnes visit itinerary
My family and I loved this place! Its much bigger on the inside than you'd expect from the outside. Lots of interesting original historic features in this building's construction, as well as the displayed artifacts and different historical periods and aspects of social history on each floor. The helpful and friendly staff make this a very worthwhile visit.
It may look small, but you won’t believe how big it is inside. There is so much to learn about Totnes for locals and visitors alike. The staff are lovely - friendly and knowledgeable. Best of all it’s free, although you’ll want to give a donation at the end. Make sure to sign the visitors book!
