Abington Park Museum is set within the grounds of Abington Park. Look out for the beautiful Grade II listed building situated between the café and aviary. A little-known fact is that the building was once the manor house home of Shakespeare’s granddaughter, Madam Elizabeth Bernard. Madam Bernard is actually buried in the church grounds close by.
In addition to visiting exhibitions and events, you’ll find the permanent Museum exhibition which is rich in local history. Permanent exhibitions include:
- Northamptonshire’s Military History, Regiment and Yeomanry
- Northamptonshire 19th Century fashion gallery
- Historic leathercraft from around the world
Be sure to look out for special events happening throughout the year.
