Narrated by Christopher Timothy.
Set in over 40 acres in the heart of the South Downs National Park, the Weald & Downland Living Museum is a unique and vibrant open-air museum, created to preserve and celebrate the history of rural England and the ordinary people who lived it, a story which might otherwise be lost. At the heart is a large collection of historic buildings and artefacts spanning over 1,000 years, originating from the counties of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent - the ‘Weald and Downland’ region.
The Museum has been a spiritual home to many, since it opened to the public almost 50 years ago. It is only through the inspirational effort and dedication of their Founder Roy Armstrong and the many passionate visionaries and volunteers that the museum exists, all sharing a common goal -
‘To rescue and conserve historic buildings, to teach traditional trades and crafts, to ensure their preservation and to share the untold stories of rural life in South-East England.’
With working exhibits that through demonstrations, crafts and hands-on activities, show how these buildings would have operated hundreds of years ago.
The Museum’s collection stands proudly within the site, reminding and educating everyone who visits, not only of the past, but also the present, and will stand the test of time in an ever changing future.
The Weald & Downland Living Museum gives a sense of place and wonder, and continues to give so many a chance to witness a past that is truly alive.
