Strangers' Hall

The museum displays domestic life across seven centuries through period rooms furnished with textiles, costumes, and furniture collections spanning multiple architectural styles.

The building originated in the 14th century and acquired its name from Protestant refugees from the Low Countries who settled in Norwich during 1565.

The museum features the Oak Room, Georgian dining room, and traditional Elizabethan Knot Garden, representing different periods of English domestic architecture.

The museum opens on Wednesdays and Sundays, offering guided tours through multiple floors connected by a 17th-century staircase leading to the south courtyard.

The medieval undercroft, the oldest section of the building, contains a porter's lodge with a distinctive squint window for monitoring visitor arrivals.
