Thetford museum wins 200k grant

A museum in Thetford has been given nearly £200,000 by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Ancient House Museum will use the grant money to produce a new display telling the story of the Duleep Singh family - who purchased the rare timbered Tudor house - and gifted it to the people of Thetford as a ‘Public Museum’. The Ancient House is also planning a series of events that will celebrate 100 years since it first opened to the public in 1924. Richard Daniel finds out more. Photo credit: Norfolk County Council
