Step back in time
Mind your head as you step into historic Fen Cottage to discover how people used to live and thrive on the Fen.
Dating from the early 18th Century, the cottage is one of the last surviving buildings from the tiny hamlet known as 'The Lode' whose residents earned their living from traditional fenland trades and crafts, harvesting sedge, peat digging, wildfowling, fishing.
Our volunteer guides wil be happy to show you around and answer your questions.
The Fenman's Workshop showcases some of the traditional fenland crafts & skills - you may even see our volunteers giving live demonstrations.
