Baysgarth House Museum is a local museum located in Baysgarth House, situated in Baysgarth Park, in the market town of Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, England.[1][2][3]
Baysgarth House was previously the home of the Wright-Taylor family.[1] From 1930, it was in public ownership, until 2004 when the Community Heritage Arts and Media Project (Champ Ltd) took over the management of the house, including its additional buildings, museum, collections, and archives. The building is Grade II listed.
The main building houses Georgian and Victorian style rooms. The museum covers the lives of local people. There is a large collection of 18th and 19th century pottery and porcelain.[2] There is also an Industrial Museum in the old stable block. Traditional crafts such as blacksmithing, cobbing, and thatching are displayed in the Craft Cottage.
The museum is mainly staffed by volunteers.
