Kitchen items

In the kitchen there are many interesting items, some being relatively modern. There is also a small display of commemorative china.

The kitchen fireplace and the original cobbled floor help to give the area the authentic atmosphere of a 17th century kitchen.

Imagine lighting the fire for the built-in copper to boil water for the washing, then putting the items through the mangle with the water running along the drain in the cobbled floor.

Country crafts - thatcher, blacksmith, wheelwright etc.

There is also a display case showing many small planes and other woodworking tools.

The War Room contains artefacts from both World Wars and associated items.
