Our Display Room contains a comprehensive collection of artefacts, found at Southburn and in the surrounding area, from the earliest neolithic (stone age) flint tools to mid twentieth century finds. These show how man's skills and lifestyle have evolved through the different time periods. Of particular interest are the ancient spear found by local schoolchildren, the iron age pot from Arram, a large collection of Medieval coins and even Viking gold! Many brooches and fastenings show the fascinating way our ancestors dressed.
