Beck Isle Museum

Beck Isle Museum is a late 18th-century building constructed of ashlar stone, divided into two parts of equal height. The right side features two storeys with three windows, which are hung sashes with glazing bars and adorned with Tudor-style drip moulds in a continuous moulding. The ground floor has a door on the left, accompanied by a Doric columned porch with an enriched frieze. The left side is a single storey and has two large, lofty pointed-headed sash windows with ornamental glazing. The building includes a plinth, a band, a parapet, and a slate roof. A plaque indicates that William Marshall of Sinnington, a pioneer of agriculture from 1745 to 1818, lived here and modified the building to establish a college of agriculture in 1818. Beck Isle Museum, Beck Isle Cottage, and the farm buildings at Fern Leigh, along with the premises occupied by J Watson and Rose Cottage, form a group.
