Kirkleatham Museum was opened in 1981. It is located in Kirkleatham Old Hall which was built in 1709 as a 'Free School' by the local Turner family. Nearby are several listed buildings worthy of a visit. We have a new education facility and an excellent cafe. As well as permanent exhibitions we have a regular temporary exhibition programme, highlighting local artistic talent in the 'Little Gallery' and Pavilion.
