Welcome to St Osyth Museum
Glad you're here. Click onwards for information on the fascinating history of our village. Read about the heart-warming tales and the chilling stories from our past. Enjoy our architecture - both modest and grand. Meet some of the past characters of the village.
Please visit our museum, Behind the wall, Colchester Road, St Osyth.
The Museum is now closed for the winter period and will reopen again in April. Even though we are closed work at the Museum carries on.
Don't forget about our monthly meetings including fascinating talks which are held every month on the second Thursday. The meetings are held in the village hall at 7pm. The next talk is Charlie and the Dig'. See Events for more details.
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.
