Deactivated ordnance on display at Calver Barracks
Carver Barracks is home to the Royal Corps of Engineers, 101 Engineer Regiment
29 Explosive Ordnance Disposal & Search Group and 33 Engineer Regiment 101 (City of London) Engineer Regiment.
I am unable to identify the type of bomb although the largest looks like a "Grand Slam" or "Tallboy" bomb.
Perhaps some ex Royal Engineer can help.

Carver Barracks nee RAF Debden
This is Carver Barracks it occupies the site of the former RAF Debden. It became operational in April of 1937. It was a sector airfield of 12 Group during the Battle of Britain and was home to one of the "Eagle Squadrons" of American volunteer RAF pilots. The RAF vacated and USAAF took up residence in 1942. The base remained in RAF service until 1975. As can be guessed from the photo the 33rd Engineer Regiment now in residence are concerned with bomb disposal.

Gate Guardian
This bomb casing stands outside Image I had a friendly chat with the sentries who couldn't think of a reason why a photo of a WW2 bomb case could threaten national security! Sadly they had no further information about the type of weapon it was. There was a Barns Wallis designed Tall Boy inside the gates but I didn't even try to get a picture of that.
