Local Museum Challenge/ 5. Anne of Cleves House, Lewes

Next up after the tiny but pleasant Crawley Museum it was off to the County Town of East Sussex sadly home to the scummy Lib Dem controlled Lewes District Council. To visit Lewes Museum and then attend the Towns main football ground the Dripping Pan to watch Andy Rumbles R.E.M.F team face the Croy*on clowns. 

Mode of transport:

I travelled straight after finishing Haywards Heath College, getting the good old Southern train from Haywards Heath that went non stop to Lewes. But after the football, was a bit screwed as seemed to be no trains that would take me to Gatwick after 11.00pm so got the train to Brighton and stayed round a friend’s house for the night there. 

Location of museum:

It was actually near the station being a five minute walk on Southover Street the otherside of the road to a priory. 

Staff friendliness: The staff seemed quite friendly the guy at the front was very knowledgeable about the Sussex museums especially.

Museum Highlights

  • Was actually the first museum I had to pay to get into. Though went to the fine organisation that is Sussex Past ( Behind my legendary trips to Fishbourne Roman Palace, Chichester as a kid) as a kind of donation was £3.50
  • First off was the former Queen consorts bedroom, which looked shockingly ordinary, though had some fine Tudor clothing to mess about with. I tried on a hat to look like a young Henry VIII
  • Next off was to the kitchens to see how the fine tudor cuisines were done in the 16th Century
  • Then I was in a upstairs room with collections of Victorian toys with a floor that appeared to be falling apart with holes (There was even a sign warning even) and I was concerned I would fall through into the East Sussex archive office (or something like that below), would have been hilarious in fact thinking about it stunning the people working in the office.
  • Similar to the Horsham museum it also had a fine garden. That you could have a rest in after gaining some much information on the town.
  • There was a good section on the history of Lewes featuring a fine trophy that was famously stolen years ago that was used for a major horse race that the town hosted.

Great stuff, I ended up leaving the museum with a replica knights ring which fits in with my fictional title of Earl of Trumpton. Was a good visit, and despite paying was quality.

8th May 2007

Huh had a hilarious last week. On the positive my liecense finally arrived which means that Brightons bouncers are unlikely to bar me from entry into clubs in the future (unless I get pissed and act like a prat). I will be celebrating by making a appearance at the Honey Club in the next week. Anyway the day at Cheltenham was hilarious I arrived there courtesy of Tubby Mundays (of NSC), and his Crowborough/ Kent GBRA mob. Getting the train to Cheltenham. I waited at a nearby pub to the station for the emergence of John Hewitt but he did not bother to text me. So I ended up walking through town with some exiled Seagull fans from Leicester to get to the ground.

I eventully had some drinks at the Cat and Fish with Ashley Bradley and the Ticehursts. Then I got changed into my secret outfit, which consisted of 1. Denim Skirt 2. Bra with Cotton Wool 3. navy girly shirt (though did not reveal it) 4. Blonde wig 5. Plus my usual Seagulls shirt and trainers. Could have been better if I had makeup and shaved a bit better. But got various reactions, ranging from you look pretty to putting people off their dinners. (For pictures see the out and about section) I entered the ground and enjoyed the encounter which ended all square, and then ventured off to the Hogs Head with John Hewitt, Tim my fellow Haywards Heath college mate a pissed Ian Hine, assuming I actually had changed sex. After a few drinks, and some photograph posing I ended my adventure as a male lesbian and changed back to my fine masucline self. But took a while to get home and had to get a train from London Victoria that stopped a hundred times on the way to Ifield.

But at least I fulfilled the promise to the Burgess Hill massive in 2005 at McCarthys BBQ when discussing about Crossdressing, that for a laugh I would attend a Albion game crossdressed by 2007, though not fulfilled the Belgian game promise sadly.

Meanwhile I have found out that I have had relatives that lived in the legendary town of Burgess Hill, which may help with my housing application but I need to find out if they are still living there if anyone wants to help please let me know.

I have been amazed at how much Haywards Heath College is getting bombarded with annoying posters saying vote me to be president which are plastered all over the walls of the college, along with the presidents campaigns, though I urge all Haywards Heath College Students to vote for the lovely Kusi to be President, I may get her to have her own section on this site. But she seems a lovely and good enough girl to lead the students of Haywards Heath the right way.

Thats all feel free to check the recent photos of me in the Out and About section more will pop up the next few days.
