Permanent Exhibitions at Arundells

The Soldier Exhibition

This small exhibition celebrates Edward Heath’s military service and highlights how this short, but full and often traumatic, period influenced and shaped his thoughts and views on many different subjects throughout his life.

Edward Heath’s uniform and medals form part of the exhibition and really help bring the words to life. 

The History of the House Exhibition

The house itself has a fascinating history which dates right back to the 13th Century. This exhibition tells the story of its former occupants as well as the architectural changes the house has undergone over the years.

Located in the upstairs corridor of the house, you will find yourself immersed in tales of statesmen, royalty and salvation from ruin. 

House

The house was originally a medieval canonry, with the first recorded occupant being Henry of Blunston, Archdeacon of Dorset, who lived here from 1291 until his death in 1316.
