Loan Boxes

Headstone Manor & Museum’s Loan Boxes are a fun and hands on way for children to learn about the past.

Fancy handling Roman pottery made by Harrow’s first residents or ducking for cover in a genuine WWII helmet?

Our Loans Box Service provides teachers with the opportunity to develop their teaching across the curriculum with a wide range of historical artefacts, replica objects and useful resources. They inspire a range of classroom activities to help you deliver desired learning outcomes with enjoyment and fun!
