Information

  • Childrens activities

The age and compactness of our building limit the facilities we can offer. But we can assure you of a very warm welcome.

We regret that we have no special arrangements for the physically disabled. but if a wheelchair can be negotiated down the three steps at the gate there should be no difficulty in coping with the downstairs rooms of the cottage. Our volunteer attendants will always be helpful.
We are always happy to assist individuals or institutions in any research they wish to pursue, within the limitations of our facilities. Contact the Honorary Secretary by email, in the first instance.
