Sir Max Aitken Museum

About

This magnificent 18th century, Ratsey and Lapthorn sail maker’s loft, was acquired and restored by Sir Max Aitken in 1947. Today, with its traditional splendour, the building boasts Sir Max’s personal collection of historic and nautical artefacts, and is open to the public during the summer months. The Museum is also available to rent for private lunches, dinners or meetings all year round.
