Rural Life Centre http://www.rurallife.plus.com/rlc/index.html »
The Rural Life Centre is a country life museum, assembled by the late Mr & Mrs Henry Jackson and now run by a charitable trust. It is pleasantly distributed over ten acres of field, woodland and barns, and comprises a large number of implements and devices marking over 150 years of farming. Many aspects of village and rural life are also displayed in realistic individual settings and include:
Farming through the seasons.
Local hop growing.
Tools and crafts allied to country industries and needs.
Social history of village life from the 1800s - school, domestic, trades and others.
Reconstructed buildings include a 1947 Prefab, village hall, chapel, cricket pavilion, a small Victorian laundry building and a corrugated iron schoolroom.
