South Mill Arts

One of the buildings, today Bishop's Stortford Museum, was the birthplace of Cecil Rhodes.

The complex was refurbished in 2005 and has a 300-seat theatre, a multi-purpose studio space, museum, an exhibition gallery for art and photography, and a café bar.

It provides a programme of arts events and hosts professional touring productions, dance groups, musicians and comedians.

[1] Netteswell House, today Bishop's Stortford Museum, was the birthplace of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes, the financier and founder of diamond company De Beers who gave his name to Rhodesia.

The Rhodes' Birthplace Museum was established in 1938 in two early-19th-century houses which are Grade II-listed buildings.
