Stairwell

The stairwell of the museum has a real ‘wow’ factor. It’s a beautiful spiral, echoing the form of the local ammonite fossils. At the foot of the staircase are some decorative examples of Coadestone, an artificial ‘stone’ developed by local businesswoman Eleanor Coade. And on the staircase are paintings of people associated with Lyme and a stone niche containing an imposing large ammonite.
