Museum Layout

The Panacea Museum is in ‘Castleside’, a beautiful Victorian house that was part of the community’s headquarters and incorporates several other buildings, set within the gardens. To explore the whole site takes about two hours.

Castleside Thumb

Castleside- Main Museum Building

In the largest of the museum buildings visitors can explore the introductory rooms, discover the period room settings showing the Society’s preparations for the opening of Joanna Southcott’s box of prophecy and learn about similar and related groups and movements established nationally and globally.

Founders House Thumb

Founder's House

This house was the family home of Mabel Barltrop and she continued to live there after she became the leader of the Panacea Society. After her death her followers kept the house as a shrine – it remained unchanged and untouched for more than 70 years. Today visitors can explore the perfectly preserved rooms and relax in the adjacent Gardens.
