The Museum has a permanent exhibition of items from its collection illustrating various aspects of life in and around Cuckfield during the last two hundred years. The museum houses a local history reference library and document archive. It has a large collection of photographs including some by Douglas Miller, son of watercolourist Fred Miller, two of whose newly restored pictures are on display. The history of local trades is represented, in particular clockmaking. The museum's Chinoiserie longcase clock is a fine example of the work of Edward Gatland who was buried in the Cuckfield churchyard in 1780. Two big names featured in the museum are the paleontologist Gideon Mantell who discovered the iguanodon fossils and the artist Robert Bevan, friend of Gauguin and founder member of the Camden Town Group.
