Description

The Tenby Museum consists of two ranges, with the original museum adapted from a medieval building that served as the National School until 1874, and the former Museum Cottage to the left, which is now also part of the museum. The medieval building features walls made of grey limestone rubble, with a band of corbelling along the south front above the ground floor, a flat parapet, and a 19th-century hipped roof covered with imitation slates. There is a brick stack at the north end. The ground floor has two inserted flat-headed tripartite sash windows, while the first floor has two cambered-headed four-pane sashes on the south side. A similar tripartite sash is present on each floor in the east end wall. The roof has an outshut at the rear, with a heavily rendered and capped round chimney located in the northwest angle of the Museum Cottage. An added single-storey northeast wing features an eroded mosaic from 1991 on its east side wall, and a further wing extends west, running parallel to the original building.

The former Museum Cottage to the west is a two-storey, three-window range finished in painted stucco, with a slate close-eaved roof and a stack on the left end. The facade consists of two builds, with a two-window range to the right that has small windows above (with 20th-century glazing) situated above a late 20th-century flat-roofed glazed museum entrance. To the left, there is an added section with a brick end stack, an eight-pane sash window above, and a twelve-pane sash window below. The rear has an outshut.
