If you would like to help the Museum we would 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.
