| Church Farm Museum | |||||||||||||||||||
A hidden gem of the East Coast, this rural life museum gives us a glimpse of our agricultural lives before the mass urbanisation of Britain. In addition to the main farmhouse there is also a thatched 'mud and stud' farm labourer's cottage, Bob the traction engine, a blacksmith's forge, agricultural displays and a full event and exhibitions programme. Boothby Barn This barn was dismantled and moved from its previous site at nearby Welton le Marsh, to be re-erected here. It now houses a Hornsby Traction Engine and Threshing Drum. Cowshed Imagine the sight and hear the cows in the stalls waiting to be milked. Farmhouse The building is dated around 1760 with 19th century additions. It has been furnished to the period 1900-1910. Havenhouse Barn and Wagon Hovel This magnificent brick barn houses the café and temporary exhibition space. Adjacent to it the wagon Hovel provides shelter for several of the farm vehicles. Orchards and Gardens A variety of rare traditional Lincolnshire apple trees such as ‘Bollingbrook beauty’ and ‘Peasgood nonsuch’ grow in the orchard. Withern Cottage A wonderful example of a Lincolnshire "mud and stud" thatched cottage. Workshops Boasts not only a tin smith and wheel wright but also a blacksmith's forge that which is still used on high days and holidays! |
