An old museum very close to Adel Parish Church.

I’ve noticed on an 1893 map in the Old-Maps UK website a small building labelled ‘Museum’ very close to the church of St. John the Baptist (more commonly known as Adel Parish Church). The ‘Museum’ is on Church Lane on the opposite side to the church grounds at their nearest to Adel end. The building is still shown, but not labelled, on maps up to and including one dated 1953 but it is not shown on a 1975/1979 1:1,250 map (it was unclear if it was or was not there on a 1968 1:10,560 map). There seems to be something there in an 1851 1:10,560 map but it is hard to tell if it was or was not the building.
I’ve been unable to readily find any information on the ‘Museum’, so I wonder if anyone knows anything. Any help will be appreciated.
