We were invited by the Museum President Richard Barmwell DL to attend the re-opening of the newly refurbished museum.
A Grade II* listed museum has reopened after the majority of the "urgently needed" £684,000 repairs to its leaking roof were completed. The Wisbech and Fenland Museum was one of the first purpose-built museums in England when it opened in the 1840s. It houses anti-slavery campaigner Thomas Clarkson's "campaign chest" and the original Charles Dickens manuscript of "Great Expectations".
