Britain's What's On Event Guide
Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens
Heritage Open Day: Join us on Saturday 7th September for free entry to The Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens! Quex House was built in 1812, and many of the passions and interests of its builder John Powell-Powell can still be seen today, including a collection of Napoleonic memorabilia, a collection of naval canons and the distinctive boat-shaped curve to two of the publicly accessible rooms.
The house has been extensively remodelled in its lifetime, with the current layout largely reflecting the life of Percy Powell-Cotton and his family, who lived in the house in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Percy is perhaps best known as the founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum and an explorer, and his travels and enthusiasm for collecting are reflected in the house.
