Museum Guided Tour

Museum Guided Tour

Meet our Tour Guide in the Museum Shop for the beginning of a fascinating tour of William Cowper’s former home from 1768-1786. Find out about how the lives of William Cowper and John Newton came together, through Cowper’s poetry and prolific letter-writing, the Olney Hymns and John Newton’s famous hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ of 250 years, commemorated in 2023.

Our Guide will illustrate his stories by showing you key items from our 5000 artefacts collected over the 124 years of the Museum’s existence.

Spaces limited to 10 people. Book via info@cowperandnewtonmuseum.org.uk / ring 01234 711516/ or ask in the Shop.

Tour price: FREE  with your annual pass.
If you don’t have an annual pass, purchase yours in our Shop on arrival – only £10 to enjoy a year of visits to our museum, gardens and art gallery during usual opening hours.  Check our website for more free tours too!
