About this museum
Bircham Newton's heritage centre inside the construction college keeps the Coastal Command station's WWI-to-postwar story; the chairman's spontaneous full tours are review-famous.
Select Sundays — check the Facebook group; the war graves at Great Bircham church complete the visit.
