Durham Heritage Centre and Museum
Durham Heritage Centre and Museum, Independent museum in Durham, England
The Durham Heritage Centre occupies a Grade I listed building, exhibiting collections that document the development of Durham through artifacts and photographs.
The museum resides in the former St Mary-le-Bow Church, which underwent reconstruction in the 1670s after its original structure collapsed in 1632.
The museum displays present insights into medieval Durham, including the influence of Prince Bishops and the city's role as a pilgrimage destination.
Located near Durham Cathedral, the museum maintains regular opening hours and offers guided tours through its collection of local historical exhibits.
The building features a tower from 1702 that contains a bell manufactured by Dalton of York in 1759, marking time for generations.
