Every purchase made in the tea-room supports our work here, so whilst you’re catching up with friends over a coffee you’re also helping to keep centuries of history alive for generations to come.

The knit and knatter group meet every Wednesday morning in the tea-room at 9.30am. The group welcomes anyone with an interest in knitting or crocheting.
