History Beneath Our Feet:

A Community Gallery Exhibition

History Beneath Our Feet: Metal Detecting by Lorraine Stanley

History Beneath Our Feet is our latest Community Gallery exhibition, sharing memories and finds by our volunteer Lorraine Stanley, in memory of her husband Andy Stanley. This exhibition features the ‘Stanley Collection’, metal detected archaeological finds discovered by museum volunteer Lorraine Stanley.

On display are artefacts dating from the Roman period, including coins, Medieval artefacts such as shoe buckles and post-Medieval items including musket balls, horse spurs, keys and clay tobacco pipes. Lorraine has spent many years promoting responsible metal detecting through her work with police on Heritage Crime and through talks to groups and in schools.

LEGO® Brick Paintings:

An artwork exhibition

LEGO® Brick Paintings: by Brick Galleria

Thursday 26 March 2026 – Saturday 13 June 2026

LEGO® Brick Paintings is a brand new exhibition featuring collections of artwork, in a style developed by the internationally recognised LEGO Brick Artist of Brick Galleria.

Using the medium LEGO®, that is recognised globally, Brick Galleria produces and creates its own art style with LEGO Brick Paintings. Their work is produced from specifically chosen LEGO parts to represent the different aspects of the scene. Rather than creating a 3D image or model, the artwork captures the elements of the scene and the perspective using shapes and tones. Each piece of artwork is handcrafted over many hours.

The exhibition encompasses two collections based on the countryside and architecture of the British Isles with the artwork in a variety of sizes and subjects from an elegant country manor and an ancient castle, to a serene valley and an autumn forest. The exhibition draws not only LEGO lovers but also art lovers and those who want to be inspired and further their creative skills.
