I used to love that museum!


It used to be in Arundel.

It was opposite the Swan Pub on the corner. On the High Street opposite to River Road.


There's a tearoom there now, mind you there's a tea room in every book and cranny in Arundel.


It's one of those places that are lovely to visit, tho living there can be interesting. One summer a couple of older ladies thought they'd take s look through the window of our cottage.

When I asked if I could help one casually replied "No it's fine, we're just having a look" when I suggested she might want to step out of of our front garden, she looked slightly miffed.

"Ok, no problem" she said shaking her head.


Ha! Loved it there, proper bonkers.

It was a two headed lamb, I think, but I may be wrong.


I used to have the catalogue, but suspect it was thrown out in one of my clutter clears, so I can't check :(

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
