Welcome to St Osyth Museum
Our Museum is now closed until next year.
The museum is hidden behind the wall in Colchester Road, St Osyth, almost opposite the Kings Arms. We are normally open every Saturday and Sunday from Easter Saturday until the end of October.
But don't forget our monthly St Osyth Historical Society Meetings still continue with fascinating talks. These are held every month on the second Thursday. The meetings take place in the St Osyth Village Hall at 7pm. See Events for more details.
Walking Tours of the Priory buildings and Trailer Tours of the Priory grounds will start again in 2026. To book go to www.prioryeducationcentre.co.uk.
If you would like to help the Museum we would still love to hear from you.
Nestling among the tidal creeks in the far east of Essex, St Osyth has seen settlements of people for thousands of years.
St Osyth boasts 116 listed buildings and structures representing hundreds of years of history.
Come and meet some of the interesting personalities whose lives, for a time, enriched the colourful tapestry of St Osyth's past.
To try to find the start of the settlement of the St Osyth area we must travel back thousands of years.
Some of the Village Tales tell of turbulent times – such as when women were arrested and tried for witchcraft.
