Chelmsford Museum
The Chelmsford Museum is based in Oaklands House, an historic property off Mousham Street in Chelmsford, Essex. It is a Grade II Listed building.
The house was designed by Charles Pertwee for Frederick Wells, a director of Chelmsford Brewery, and completed by 1865. It was constructed with an elaborate campanile and went on to be used as a hospital during the First World War. Since 1930 the house has hosted the Chelmsford Museum.
