Description:The Muckleburgh Collection has been so named after Muckleburgh Hill at the foot of which the former Weybourne Military Camp is situated. Weybourne has always been a base for the repulse of invasion from the early days of the Spanish Armada in 1588. There is a sixteenth century saying He who would Old England win must at Weybourne Hope begin reflecting the ease of landing because of the deep shore water. In 1914 the area became front-line defence with the billeting of troops, and the building of pill-boxes, gun emplacements and trenches. The site became an anti-aircraft artillery base in 1936 and remained in use until the last of some 1.5 million shells was fired on 2nd October 1958.
