Salomons Museum

It features an extremely tall water tower, stables, a private science lecture theatre and Sir David Lionel's laboratories.

He arrived at Parliament on 18 July 1851, and, like Rothschild, took his oath omitting the words "on the true faith of a Christian".

The law requiring Members of Parliament to swear an oath "on the true faith of a Christian" was changed in 1858.

Lionel de Rothschild, who had been elected yet again in 1857, became the first Jewish MP, taking his seat as soon as the law was changed.

[5] Items in the museum include Sir David Lionel Salomons' collections of hot air ballooning memorabilia,[6] early automobiles,[7] a Welte Philharmonic-Organ[8] and writings on electrical and scientific subjects.

[9] There is also a collection of Judaica, which includes the tablets of the Ten Commandments from the Salomons family's private Roof-top synagogue in Brighton.
