Join us at The Thomas Paine hotel at our brand new historical installation celebrating the life and history of Thomas Paine; a British-born political philosopher and writer who supported revolutionary causes in America and Europe.
We are proud to be supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund who have made this incredible museum a possibility, allowing us the opportunity to further enrich Thetford and the wider Norfolk community.
Learn all about the life and accomplishments of Thomas Paine, best known as the author of Common Sense (1776), an enormously popular and highly influential 47-page pamphlet that resonated across the land with its critique of King George III and hereditary succession and its call for American independence.
Our new museum offers historical artefacts, photographs and documents to view as well as a guided tour to those who attend.
Set within The Thomas Paine Hotel, enjoy refreshments at our restaurant when visiting on the weekend to make your visit a complete experience.
Our museum is fully accessible for those who may require wheelchair access.
We are immensely proud to be supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the UK’s largest dedicated funder of heritage. Our museum is made possible thanks to National Lottery players.
