It’s common practice these days for relatives to collect donations for a loved one’s favourite charity after they’ve passed away. It’s a great way to celebrate and mark their life, and offers a lasting alternative to flowers.
Please contact your funeral director if you’d like to arrange a collection for the museum at your friend or relative’s funeral.
Alternatively, you can send donations directly to the museum by cheque or BACS transfer.
Please get in touch to discuss the details and so we can arrange an appropriate ‘thank you’ for your gift.

My sister and I loved this museum. Especially the guided tours explaining how the machines work and the working and living conditions of the frame knitters at the time. Even got the chance to take a look at Queen Victoria’s stockings in the former methodist church across the cottages. Excellent museum! Very entertaining and interesting
Terrific Museum
Second visit to this fascinating museum, a veritable storehouse of social history, staffed by knowledgeable, enthusiastic folk. Some steps may prove difficult for the elderly or infirm but there’s plenty to appreciate at ground level.
