A lovely picturesque & very quaint museum in a perfect location that is owned by The English Heritage, which is full of true historical facts & relics of this & the surrounding areas, I found it to be very informative & the staff seem to be very knowledgeable to answer any questions you may have of days gone by. There is free parking for an hour just outside, or nearby is Moorland Road carpark that is completely free for as long as you need.

A helpful lady will help you to understand this magnificent medieval house. The square outside is very beautiful.

What a truly charming museum. No self obsessiveness, just true history of the village, depicted with love and skill. The building is scarily ancient, with a staircase to challenge the unstable, and creaky floorboards you can see through to the storeys below! Hours could easily be spent here studying the fascinating exhibits. And it is free entry!!

Great little museum and free of charge (donations encouraged). Whilst the exhibits inside are really interesting and eye opening (from the village stocks, to the man and bear traps) the building itself is a time machine and a perfect place to look out from and towards the medieval square or at from the square itself. A must-see followed by a drink or tea in one of the nearby pubs/almshouses.

I have been going to this museum since I was a small child, the history stories and discoveries it holds shaped my mind to explore the hidden aspects of this world. My father contributed to the artefacts their after finding a Roman soldier in our garden and I also took in many finds as a child, including Red Deer bones confirming that they had once roamed in our small town.

It was a really good little place to visit, they couldn't get anymore interesting things if they tried, but for us it was the house, it is amazing walking around the way the wood rests together, you actually feel as if you've had a couple of pints (lol). Would definitely recommend a visit as it is set in a lovely square where you can have food and drinks (on nice day) and a church to visit.

What a gem! A very important medievel structure with a window back into history. Great little museum. The NT staff member was so knowledgeable about this lodge and the surrounding town. Well worth a visit.

Really interesting history for the local area

Wonderful and kind volunteers passionate about the town's history. Amazing small museum with everything including fossils, grandfather clocks and elements of the town's culture like the town crier's bell and uniform. Big smiles from the whole family.

It's National Trust. It's free. Two things you don't normally associate! Incredible building and varied collection. For instance a comprehensive history of horseshoes with examples which is more interesting than you might imagine!

Packed with items and information, this was an afternoon's browse on the corner of the main square with a selection of eateries on the doorstep and parking not too far away. The boys ran around madly to complete an activity then got a bit bored, so worthwhile overall. Learnt a bit about the history of the extended local area and generally.

A small National trust property. Charming, Tudor building. We spent about an hour wandering around. Lovely lady on the door. Free to national trust members and only a few pounds if not members so really good value for money.

Lots to see in this small lodge. Really well done and worth a visit if in the area.

Open again, very interesting collection of things not to mention the building itself is amazing to slowly wander around. Careful on the stairs! 😁

Currently closed but from the outside it is a spectacular building. Extremely beautiful.

Fascinating and beautifully cared for building full of amazing artefacts. Well worth a visit.

We went today as a family and was amazed how welcoming it was. They lady behind the counter was so lovely she gave my two girls a fossil hunt game to play as we walked around the museum. After we finished they had a lolly and sticker. Would recommend this museum to family and friends. Always leave a little donation when possible.
