The museum is based in a Medieval Manor House dating back to 1280. The house has a fascinating history and is now restored with fine oak furnishings. Visitors to the house can now see restored rooms and displays on medieval life as well as a series of temporary exhibitions on a wide range of subjects. The house is set in recently recreated 17th century style gardens with flower gardens, an orchard, herb gardens and a maze. There is a unique selection of gifts and books to purchase from the museum shop located inside the Manor House. Events are all year round with various permanent exhibitions, a virtual tour and interactive displays.
