Room 1

Immortelle. These were seen adorning many graves in the churchyard up until the 1930s. Although fragile, they survived for many years because graveyards were treated with great respect. Welcome to the Museum! In this room you will find displays of ephemera from local life over the last two centuries as well as an exhibition about the local archaeology. Also there are photograph albums containing a wealth of images of the village over the last century.

The book 'Village Under the Plain' is for sale in this room.
