Help Shape the Future of One of Hampshire’s Most Historic Sites

Located in the heart of Romsey, directly opposite the iconic Romsey Abbey, King John’s House & Museum is an independent accredited museum and charitable trust. The unique site comprises a Grade I listed medieval hall, Grade II listed Tudor cottage, museum café, gallery spaces, offices and heritage gardens, representing more than 800 years of continuous history.
As restoration works progress towards reopening in 2027, they are looking for a skilled project professional to work alongside their dedicated staff team, trustees, consultants and funders to ensure the project is successfully delivered on time, on budget and to the highest heritage standards.
