Burwell Museum

 

The Dennis of Grunty Fen exhibit at Burwell Museum is now well and truly up and running.

 It brings to life the way Dennis and his 92-year-old grandmother lived in their converted railway carriage home. The thousands of listeners Dennis enthralled with his tall tales (as told to Mr South on the BBC wireless) can see his real dirty mac, his real dirty trousers and his real dirty cap, plus his famous bicycles and tricycles and a host of tatty treasures from the LNER.

 

And it was also the venue for the 2007 Grunty Fen Rhubarb Festival, the first for almost ten years. Despite the torrential rain, a jolly good time was had by all (we forced ourselves) and the proceedings were enlivened - or cheapened, depending on your point of view - by the presence of
Miss Rhubarb Tart and Miss Rhubarb Crumble.

Thank you to everybody who turned out, and special thanks to the people who brought rhubarb exhibits. In a cluster of restored buildings round an ancient windmill, the Burwell Museum houses the county’s foremost countryside collection featuring fen life down the centuries.
Cambridgeshire took Dennis to its heart. Now Burwell Museum hails

Dennis of Grunty Fen
as a true figure in fen folklore.
