We aim to educate, inform and inspire our visitors with the stories of Grantham and the surrounding area. Bringing our collective heritage to life through physical and digital exhibitions and experiences, Grantham Museum is for and by the people of Grantham.
Who we are:
In early 2011 the Grantham Community Heritage Association (GCHA) was formed by a group of local volunteers to manage Grantham Museum after it was closed.
The GCHA worked towards towards re-opening the Museum in time to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee, and the Museum has been open ever since. To continue this, the GCHA is establishing contact with local educational establishments, charities, business and community groups to share innovative ideas on the future of the Museum.
If you can spare the time and energy, please contact the Grantham Community Heritage Association using this website or by e-mailing info@granthammuseum.org.uk

David Burling – Chair
Nick Jones

Cllr. Graham Jeal

Am interested in the Grantham Community,,,,I am a 69 year old woman living in Texas…My grandparents emigrated to the US from England (grandfather) and Scotland (grandmother) before marrying and bearing two children, my mother and my uncle….my grandfather’s name was Croft Grantham and my grandmother’s maiden name was Annie Blyth. Could you direct me to a source of information for their lineage? thank you, Marsha Douglass, Corsicana, TX marshadouglass@gmail.com
Hi Marsha, sorry for the delay in replying.
The Lincolnshire Family History Society is the best source of information

I hope you find what you’re looking for.
Kind regards

I just wondered if you still have a Margaret Thatcher Spitting Image puppet in your collection?
Hi Ellen, unfortunately it is not on display any more but is in storage with Lincolnshire Heritage Services.
Where can visitors park ? Nearest free spaces, inc off road, if possible please.
Hello Diane, there is free parking on St. Peter’s Hill (limited to 30mins), there is a multi storey car park on Welland Street which is relatively cheap. Or supermarket car park a short walking distance away.
