Background

History

The collection was started privately by Wesley Key, and his family still own the hall, grounds and most of the exhibits. Key eventually opened his collection to the public, initially on open days and latterly as a museum, which still opens between April and October. The museum is presently owned by Wesley's grandson Jimmy Key.
