Admission
- No dogs are allowed except guide dogs
- Photography is not
allowed without specific prior permission (forms are available in the Museum, and also downloadable as pdf) because at any one time we have
items on display which have been lent to us and for which we do not hold
the copyright and where lenders have made it a condition of the loan
that their material is not copied without permission. However, we are
always glad to help where we can and if visitors leave their contact
details, we will get in touch. In some cases electronic images can be
supplied via e-mail. Standard colour images of the building and its
features are available as postcards on sale in the Museum, and some images available in the Image Library

on other days for a student/school visit, which must be pre-booked well in
advance by contacting us
- We have additional facilities in our nearby premises (2 minutes' walk from
The Folly) - two study rooms, kitchen and toilet facilities.

"Homes a long time ago" (Unit 2 in DfES History schemes of work),
"A Roman Case Study" (Unit 6A), "Children in the Second World
War" (Unit 9) and "Children living in Victorian Britain" (Unit
