Sadly, over the last two years the visitor numbers to the Chrishall Museum have declined and, after the passing away of Mrs Cranwell in January 2010, the Friends of the Museum closed it on July 15th 2010.
The Museum was founded by Mrs. Irene Cranwell with her private collection of artefacts and it was opened by Mr. Christopher South on September 30th 1989 in the grounds of Chrishall Methodist church.
As it was mobile then, it was taken to various events including Wimpole Hall,
Ashdon and Ickleton and it was on show at Radio Cambridgeshire for
one of their Open days.
It is hoped to re-issue Mrs Cranwell's booklet 'Chrishall Folk' at a later date.
The Chrishall Recorders/Friends of the Museum have been working with the Recorders of Uttlesford History to develop a village history archive. So far the Chrishall information recorded in the archive is limited but you can see the archive here.
