I spent a very enjoyable hour visiting this little museum which seemed to be staffed by volunteers. I particularly enjoyed visiting the Doll Museum which had hundreds of very interesting dolls beautifully displayed with information about them. Many exhibits seemed to be donations with information about the donor too. It is free to visit and much work must go into the upkeep and displays in the museum so all credit to the people involved, I for one much appreciated their hard work.

A great insight into local life, surprisingly wide ranging for such a small village. Run by enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers. Highly recommend.

What a lovely surprise finding this place...and it's FREE!!! Small cash boxes are dotted around if you want to make a donation..and to be fair you really should, but it's completely free to go in and witness one of the best model railways you'll ever see in Britain. It's massive and really well thought out ( albeit thick of dust in places ) and you can stand and enjoy the engines running round the various areas and scenarios. Not just a model railway but also a model shop selling lots of accessories to enhance your own layout should you be lucky enough to own one. I could've stood there a lot longer had I been on my own and not with my partner. Well worth a visit.
