Welcome to the Shoemakers Museum
After months of work, Shoemakers Museum is ready to welcome its first visitors. The Museum will display the heritage collections of C & J Clark, held by the Alfred Gillett Trust, to celebrate 200 years of the renowned shoemakers' history.
Working closely with Purcell Architects, we developed the design for a solid timber superstructure to add space to the Grade II Listed Manor House. The works in and around the Manor involved the introduction of a new café, toilets and kitchens, along with new structural openings and floor strengthening. A focus on sustainability and low impact construction informed the entire scheme, and led to the re-use of existing basement foundations.
The Museum and its café are now open daily from 10am to 5pm. Find out more here: Home - Shoemakers Museum
