The D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum

This authentically restored miner’s cottage is the birthplace of world renowned Nottinghamshire author D.H. Lawrence. Visitors can experience the humble beginnings of one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

In each room there is meticulous attention to the style of the period, so that it really does transport the visitor back in time. From the parlour to the attic, everything appears just as it would have been in a late Victorian household.

A great experience for all, whether you are a Lawrence fan or not. This charming, award-winning museum also includes an exhibition featuring pieces such as his original water colour paintings and his headstone!

The museum is also your starting point to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside, which inspired so much of Lawrence’s work, as well as The D.H. Lawrence Trail; an urban walk taking you by other points of interest relating to Lawrence.

General admission is self-led but guided tours can be pre-arranged. If you want a guided tour please pre-book via phone or email. There is a small charge for the guided tour but Historic Houses members are eligible for the discounted rate of £5 per person.
