Bishop's Castle Heritage Resource Centre
Bishop's Castle, Shropshire
OPENS ON FRIDAY APRIL 3RD 2026
House on Crutches Museum
The Cobbles
Bishop's Castle
Shropshire SY9
Located beside the Town Hall the museum entrance is on a sloping, cobbled footway that can be slippery in wet weather although there is a handrail.
An alternative is to come through the Town Hall, which has a lift. Because of the character of this very old building it is not possible for wheelchair users to access the museum.
“One of the best town museums in Shropshire, it’s housed in a picturebook-perfect Elizabethan timber-framed building with wooden posts propping up a 17th century upstairs extension, which feels wonderfully crooked inside”
Marie Kreft—travel writer, in her book Slow Shropshire
