Dereham Heritage Trust​

​
Welcome to all our members, volunteers ​and supporters


We regret that because of COVID-19 (coronavirus), we were unable to open the Museum to visitors in 2020.  We hope to be able to open as usual in May 2021, but please check back here in March. 

Until at least April 2021, we are not meeting together in our usual venue, but we are arranging on line talks for our members and visitors.  Please see the Talks page for more details.


Updated 15 January 2021

Please see the Museum Opening Times link for details

Find out more about Bishop Bonner's Cottage Museum of local history - and the group of volunteers who run it from the Dereham Heritage Trust. 

​At the AGM in February 2019 the Dereham Antiquarian Society decided to change its name to the Dereham Heritage Trust. This was to give the organisation a more up to date image relevant to the world in which we now live, while also acknowledging that the conservation of the town’s heritage, in all its forms, is a key part of our activities.
​
Would you like to help us keep the museum open? 
​We urgently need  more volunteers to help us preserve and interpret the town's heritage, if you are interested please email 

ken-hawkins@tiscali.co.uk .  

​Please come and join us, membership of the Trust is open to all. 

For further information, please choose from the menu on the left-hand side, or above if you are using a mobile phone.
