The striking chequerboard facade on Shoreham High Street fronts one of the oldest lay buildings in Sussex, dating originally from the twelfth century. Towards the rear is one of the newest buildings, an award-winning purpose-built extension, with a gallery for temporary displays, education workshops, holiday activities and talks on subjects from Postal History to Pirates. Marlipins Museum (once a Customs House) now holds artefacts from the long history of the Shoreham area and our maritime past. It houses a fine collection of local archaeological material from prehistoric to medieval times. Upstairs are displays on the local silent film industry, the beach and transport from ferries and boat models to Shoreham Airport. Every month sees a new exhibition of paintings and photographs from the Museum's fine collections and temporary visiting shows, including Sussex Sculptors in June and Motor Memories in September. This is also a venue for art demonstrations and seminars.
