It is open to the public seven days a week. It reopened on 12 May 2010 following an extensive £1.4m refurbishment.The museum tells the real story of Florence Nightingale, "the lady with the lamp", from her Victorian childhood to her experiences in the Crimean, through to her years as an ardent campaigner for health reform. Nightingale is recognised as the founder of modern nursing in the United Kingdom. The new museum explains her legacy and also celebrates nursing today: it is a member of The London Museums of Health & Medicine group.
In 1860, four years after her famous involvement in the Crimean War, Nightingale founded the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas' Hospital and the museum is located on this site.The new museum is designed around three pavilions that tell her story. The Gilded Cage tells the story of Nightingale's privileged childhood and her struggle against stifling social conventions. The Calling shows how Nightingale and her team coped with the crisis in the military hospitals where the legend of the lady with the lamp was born. Reform and Inspire shows the other side of Nightingale, the reformer who campaigned tirelessly for health reform at home and abroad.
Highlights from the Collection include the writing slate Nightingale used as a child, her pet owl Athena , and Nightingale's medicine chest, which she took with her to the Crimean. It contains a mix of medicines and herbal remedies, from bicarbonate of soda to powdered rhubarb. The museum displays a rare Register of Nurses that lists women who served under Nightingale in the military hospitals in Turkey and the Crimean.
Audio tours are free with entry and accessed via a set of stethoscopes. Interactive exhibits have been created to offer different ways of exploring Florence's story and influence. Free creative activities for children are offered during the holidays.
There is also a resource centre which is open by appointment to students, academics and other researchers, who may use the museum's collections, books and documents related to Florence Nightingale. The museum is a member of the London Museums of Health & Medicine.

Exhall Grange Specialist School is a special school located in Ash Green just outside Coventry in Warwickshire, England. The school meets the needs of children and young people age from 2 to 19 years with physical disability, visual impairment, complex medical needs, and social, communication and interaction difficulties.
Opened in 1951 as a school for visually impaired pupils, Exhall Grange was the first school to cater exclusively for partially sighted children. It later widened its remit to include pupils with other disabilities, and became a grammar school in 1960.
The school was a boarding school for many years, but significantly reduced its boarding facilities during the 1990s and 2000s as its role as a special school changed, and it is now a day school. In 2001 Exhall Grange began to share its campus with RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning , an RNIB school which relocated there from Northamptonshire. A children's hospice also occupies part of the site. Exhall Grange was the first special school to be awarded science college status in 2003, and celebrated its Diamond Jubilee year in 2011.
Die Kathedrale St. Peter, offiziell: The Cathedral Church of St Peter, von Exeter in Devon gilt als das „Hauptbeispiel wuchtig rauschender, gemessener Pracht ohnegleichen“. Begonnen wurde die Kirche 1112 im normannisch-romanischen Stil. Von diesem Bau sind noch die Außenmauern des Langhauses und die beiden kolossalen, heute als Querschiff dienenden, quadratischen Türme erhalten. Der Baumeister des romanischen Vorgängerbaus hatte zu dieser ungewöhnlichen Lösung gegriffen, weil die zuvor entsprechend der englischen Tradition errichteten Vierungstürme eingestürzt waren.
Der gotische Neubau erfolgte ab 1224. Man begann mit der niedrigen Ostkapelle, der sog. Lady Chapel , einem einschiffigen Bau von drei Jochen und Flankenkapellen am Westjoch. Danach folgten um 1280/90 der gleich hohe Retrochor und das Langhaus in den Maßen der romanischen Kirche. Zur gleichen Zeit wurde am Südquerhaus das Chapter-House angebaut .

However, the existence was short-lived and, in 1964, was amalgamated again with the 1st East Anglian Regiment , the 2nd East Anglian Regiment and the Royal Leicestershire Regiment to form the Royal Anglian Regiment.
