The Threads of Time museum demonstrates how people in the Braintree District developed ideas which shaped the fabric production of the 20th Century. The gallery exhibits fabrics created for State occasions from the past 200 years and include a local history library, research facilities with a reserve textile collection (by appointment) guided tours on textiles (also by appointment), refreshments and the ’Victorian classroom’ experience where school groups can dress in Victorian clothing and participate in talks and object handling.
