The Chelmsford Museum is based in Oaklands House, an historic property off Mousham Street in Chelmsford, Essex. It is a Grade II Listed building.[1]

Oaklands House

The house was designed by Charles Pertwee for Frederick Wells, a director of Chelmsford Brewery, and completed by 1865.[1] It was constructed with an elaborate campanile and went on to be used as a hospital during the First World War.[1] Since 1930 the house has hosted the Chelmsford Museum.[2]

Collections

The Chelmsford Museum is a local history and industrial heritage museum. A major £5 million extension and redevelopment scheme opened in January 2010 and the museum now includes exhibits and interactive displays focusing on Crompton, Marconi, and Hoffmann, as well as illustrating the development of the town and city from prehistory up to modern times.[3] It also holds pottery including Castle Hedingham ware and that made by the Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry.[4]

The house also incorporates the Museum of the Essex Regiment and the Essex Yeomanry.[2] Highlights of this collection include the French Imperial Eagle captured by the 2nd Battalion of the 44th Regiment of Foot from the French 62nd Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne, as well as "The Last Stand of the 44th Regiment at Gundamuck", a painting by William Barnes Wollen.[5]
