02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are a local rural museum, with the collection of artefacts having been collected from local donations and loans. We are open on a weekend from the begining of may until the end of september. We also take part in the local ' doors open day' which happens in early september. We also have a collection of family history as our museum is situated in what was the local church and is within a living graveyard, which attreacts visitors looking for fam,ily information.
