Seaford Museum of Local History

Seaford Museum of Local History is housed in Martello Tower No. 74, one of the few Martello Towers open to the public, built over 200 years ago to defend against Napoleonic invasion. The museum holds collections of historical photographs, artefacts, documents, and an 11th-century manuscript relating to Seaford's local heritage. It offers archive access (first Sunday of each month), a museum shop, membership, events and talks, and an online virtual tour. The museum reopened in March 2026 following essential renovation works.
