The Suffolk Regiment
Museum was established, in the Officers Mess, for the 250th
Anniversary of the Regiment in 1935.
The first acquisitions were items which belonged to even older
collections of badges, medals and uniform items which had been displayed
in the Mess since before The Great War.
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s the Museum was a working museum in
which Suffolk Regiment recruits would go to learn the history of their
Regiment. In 1968 the Museum moved to its current location in The Keep.
Since that time the
collection had grown in a delightfully disorganised way until, in the
summer of 2004, the whole display was dismantled, cleaned and
redisplayed in the form you see today
