Our Story

The Marlipins Museum

The museum tells the story of Shoreham’s maritime and local history from the prehistoric period to medieval times. There is a large collection of photographs available to view via the computer presentation, included are images of the airport and a fledgling film industry centred on Shoreham Beach.

The Building itself has a fascinating history, with its distinctive chequer-board facade it has held a prominent position in Shoreham’s High Street since the early 12th century making it one of the oldest secular buildings in the country.

It is not completely clear where the name Marlipins originally comes from.
