The buildings are fascinating and quite different from buildings in my part of England.

I have not heard of the Avoncroft Museum I will have to add it to my list of things to see.

I have visited the Ironbridge Museum and the Black Country museum which are similar although the buildings are quite differing in style to those in the Weald and Downland museum.

Yes the mushroom feet are to stop the rats and other vermin from the grainstore.

I thought the building was fabulous, I had not seen anything like it before.

Wonderful – such a marvellous place to visit.

We went to somewhere similar in Worcestershire – Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings and I loved it there.

Have a good weekend.

What a fabulous place this is, Cherry. I love these buildings and (yes, I paid attention, Chris told me) the third picture from the bottom shows it is built on “mushrooms” that keeps the mice and rats from entering the house, they cannot hold on to it……
