Accessibility Statement
The Museum
Dovery Manor Museum is housed in a small 15th century medieval manor house and we regret that the nature of the building may present some unavoidable access difficulties for those with disabilities, especially for wheelchair users.
The ground floor of the museum is accessed through a doorway into the reception room and this gives level access to disabled cloakroom facilities. A doorway leads, via a small step, into the Great Hall, the main downstairs room. This floor is accessible to some small wheelchairs.
The second floor is accessed internally from the Great Hall via a steep, circular stone staircase. It can also be accessed externally through the garden, via a long flight of shallow steps.
Part of the garden itself is accessible at ground level but then rises steeply at the rear of the building and is accessed via the steps and, higher up, further dirt paths.
Our room stewards are always on hand to help and will give every assistance to visitors to enable them to enjoy the museum as far as is possible within the restrictions of the building.
