Late 17th-century house with sumptuous interiors and the Museum of Childhood

Two totally different experiences sitting side by side.

The country home of the Lords Vernon, a delight of 17th-century craftsmanship, featuring exquisite plasterwork, wood carvings and classical story-based murals. Be amazed by the grandeur of the Great Staircase and Long Gallery.

The Museum of Childhood is a delight for all ages with something for everyone.

Explore the childhoods of times gone by, make stories, play with toys and share your childhood with others. You can be a chimney sweep, a scullion or a Victorian pupil, and be captivated by our archive film, interactives and displays.
