Do you want to make a lot of noise about something? This cannon, amazingly found near Lowestoft, Suffolk, can certainly help you do that. Thought to be used in the 14th century and made from iron, this breech-loading cannon is perfect for an organisation that wants to raise its profile, announce a milestone anniversary or perhaps launch a new product or service. This object will also be of interest to museum supporters, local historians and weaponry enthusiasts and thanks to its ‘gold’ status meaning that its adopter will be able to attend an exclusive curator-led event.  

The minimum donation to become a Gold Adopter of this object is £750. After clicking 'Donate', please enter this amount before continuing. Donations under the suggested amount will still count towards our target but will be considered a donation rather than an adoption. 

Once you have made payment there will be an option to tick a box ‘I’m happy to be contacted by Norfolk Museums Development Foundation to hear more about the impact of my donation, its appeals, events and other ways to donate, by email and post.’ If you do not click to accept further contact or send us your contact details we will be unable to send you your adopter pack.
