Englesea Brook Museum - All Change - come and see our new displays for 2013!

Come and see the new exhibition, Demon Drink? which opens on Bank Holiday Monday, 1 April. Discover the new displays, including our Portrait Gallery, Hugh Bourne's Sea Chest, and the Staffordshire Policeman!  From April to October we are open on Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons. We really look forward to seeing you. Please contact us to arrange a group visit.

Englesea Brook Chapel

The Chapel was built in 1828, and different phases of its architecture reveal how social and religious attitudes changed over time. You can see box pews dating from 1832, an organ bought from America in 1875, a pulpit from the 1890s and a mysterious grave.

The Collections

Explore the values of Victorian people through our collection of religious banners, musical instruments, pottery and other objects, and find out about some 19th century women ahead of their time. We have over 3,000 artefacts - so not all are on display at the same time! - and a specialist library which can be used by researchers.

The Graveyard

See Hugh Bourne's tomb. When he was buried here in 1852, more than 16,000 people lined the streets from Tunstall for his funeral procession! The monuments to Thomas Russell and James Clifton also remind us of some very special people.

Special Events

There is a programme of special events throughout the year, including study days and family activities. Check this website regularly for information on forthcoming events. 

We hope you enjoy browsing our website and look forward to meeting you at Englesea Brook Chapel and Museum in the near future.
