Braintree District Museum
The former Manor Street School where the Museum is housed, was a gift to the town in 1862 from George Courtauld, the cloth manufacturer.
When Manor Street school closed in 1989 the Heritage Trust began the development of the current Museum. The old Junior School building was converted into the Museum and the reception area and shop were added. The main galleries opened in 1992. Here there are permanent displays depicting the history of the area. The local industries, Courtauld, Crittall and Lake and Elliott are portrayed and there is a gallery devoted to the famous local-born naturalist John Ray. One classroom from the school was retained and preserved and is used by school groups who visit to experience a role play situation of a Victorian classroom. The museum possesses a large collection of photographs documenting the District's people and places from the 1880s to the present day.
Reports of the Town clerk who haunts the building. Children’s voices and singing have been heard. Shadow figures are often seen and guests have feelings of being touched.
