The Charles Burrell Museum opened in 1991 and is housed in the former Paint Shop on Minstergate in Thetford, Norfolk.

The museum tells the stories of the Charles Burrell Works, the people who laboured there, and the machinery they produced.

The past is captured through displays representing different areas of the Works, such as the foundry, and the display of our collection of Burrell engines and other agricultural equipment.

So, visit the Museum and step in to the world of Charles Burrell, world renowned Industrialist during the golden age of engineering and agriculture.
