Essex Yeomanry Museum - Now open

The Chelmsford Museum in Oaklands Park, Chelmsford has been enlarged in order to provide space for a display depicting the County Town’s significant industrial past. As part of the project, the existing single storey annex which houses The Essex Regiment Museum has been demolished and replaced by a room on the first floor of the new extension to Oaklands House. Also in an adjacent gallery The Essex Yeomanry Collection is displayed.
