The nature of this old building, with its winding, narrow and steep staircases and uneven floors, makes access to the first floor difficult.

Bishop Bonner’s Cottage Museum was opened on 4 May for the 2019 season by Hilary Bushell, the Mayor of Dereham. Thank you to all those who visited the museum: it was a great start to the year. Jonathan Boston the President of the Dereham Heritage Trust gave those present a personal recollection of the last person to have lived in the cottage, Jack Allison, known to many in the town as ‘One Armed Jack’, a veteran of World War One. We will be putting a video of this on the Trust’s website in the next few days.
