Stockwood Park Museum opened in 1986 in the stable block and walled gardens of the former Stockwood House, which was demolished in 1964. At its peak the museum attractedaround 120,000 visitors each year. By 2003 the displays were outdated and static, and visitor numbers had fallen dramatically. Investment and redevelopment were required to enhance the visitor experience. In March 2009 a £6 million development project began to transform the site.

The Stockwood Discovery Guide is a visual guide designed for the use of visitors. It includes information about the visitor centre, galleries, collections, exhibitions, gardens, restaurant and activities. With the newly finished re-development of the site this was the first official guidebook of its nature.
