The Museum of St Helena gives a fascinating insight into the island’s history & culture with artefacts dating back to discovery. The gift shop sells certificates for completing the Jacob’s Ladder climb & other goodies. And it's easy to pay with the Bank of #StHelena #TouristCard.

Good news! We've given a £21,120 grant to support the restoration of the Mint House in Pevensey, East Sussex. 🙌
