A 200-year-old time capsule: Seaford Museum

Step back and explore Seaford Museum in a Martello Tower built during the Napoleonic Wars in 1806. Now plans to renovate and reopen in 2026.

The Seaford Museum, housing countless antiques and local records, is located within an 1806 Martello Tower, part of the West Sussex's defensive fortifications during the Napoleonic Wars. The museum, established in 1979 by Lewes District Council, showcases various artifacts, archives, and exhibits related to the local community. Despite ongoing improvements in 2018, the museum plans to reopen to the public in 2026 following renovations.

The Museum actively engages the community and schools with events such as talks and short videos focused on the 1986 successful sea defense scheme.
