|  The contents of
Jack Hook's smithy - the last farrier in the
village. Mr Beaney's wheelwrights, Mr Burchett's
saddlery, A. Hoad and Sons hop press and other
farm byegones. The cobblers shop of Jim Beeden with
old Mrs Pantry's boots still to be collected.
The great Victorian range and kitchenalia from a
local 19th century house. The Edwardian nursery,
a unique collection of 17th century ironwork, and
much more are alongside the grocery and hardware
shops.
The wonderful Hop press and stilts grace the farm
collection with dairy and other farm and country
miscellanea from a bygone age.
See the hard work keeping house used to be, from
heating the flat irons to filling the stone hot
water bottles, from 'mangling' the wet linen and
boiling the copper for washing the laundry, even
'hoovering' was a two person job.
