MANNINGTREE MUSEUM

Manningtree Museum is housed within Manningtree Library and exists to provide a reference point for those interested in the history of the local area.

Manningtree, on the River Stour is a small town, a parish, and a subdistrict in Tendring district, Essex.

The town is mentioned by Shakespeare in Henry IV who speaks of a “roasted Manningtree ox with a pudding in its pouch;”

Our small museum contains a number of well-organised and informative siplay cases, shelves, photographs, posters and other items telling the history of the local area and its inhabitants.

We have a varied programme of talks and walks that we run throughout the year. Visit the events page for more information.
