Vestry House Museum

Vestry House, a two storey building of brown stock brick, was constructed in 1730 by order of the Vestry. Vestry House had since been a police station and a private house. Vestry House opened as a Museum in 1931. Themed displays capture the unique heritage of this area or north-east London.
