This little museum was one of my favourite places in Norfolk. It was purpose built by Sir Alfred Jodrell, Baronet, of Bayfield Hall around the time he inherited the entire village of Glandford in 1915. Sir Alfred and his sisters arranged all the shells in their cases and these shells come from all corners of the earth. The collection is constantly being added to. There are shells of every colour, shells as delicately coloured as butterfly wings: shells exquisitely carved.
Next to the museum is the Glandford village church which was really beautiful
This carving adornes the pew that Sir Alfred Jodrell sat on with his dog. A tribute to the man that restored the church and the village.
