Activities & Mission

The Museum is unique, because when the last master hosier died in 1952, the workshop was locked and left, leaving seventeenth century frames intact with other equipment. Part of the Museum consists of a modified seventeenth century farmhouse, that was used as the family residence for the master hosiers over the decades.
