Chatteris Museum

Explore Chatteris from prehistoric fen island to modern market town through archaeology, local objects and community stories.

Chatteris grew from a settlement on a fen island, and the museum follows that long story through finds, images and objects associated with the town and its surrounding area. Its collections bring together archaeology and more recent social history, helping visitors understand how drainage, farming and community life reshaped this part of the Fens. The museum is an accessible starting point for discovering Chatteris at a human scale. Look out for the links between what is on display and the streets and landscape outside.
