The Rural Life Centre is a country life museum, assembled by the late Mr
& Mrs Henry Jackson and now run by a charitable trust. It is
pleasantly distributed over ten acres of field, woodland and barns, and
comprises a large number of implements and devices marking over 150
years of farming. Many aspects of village and rural life are also
displayed in realistic individual settings and include:
- Farming through the seasons.
- Local hop growing.
- Tools and crafts allied to country industries and needs.
- Social history of village life from the 1800s - school, domestic, trades and others.
- Reconstructed buildings include a 1947 Prefab, village hall, chapel,
cricket pavilion, a small Victorian laundry building and a corrugated
iron schoolroom.
