Description

Park Farm Museum is a range of farm buildings dating from the late 18th century, now serving as a Rural Life Museum. The left section, which is attached to Park Farm House, features flint walls with brick dressings and is raised in brick. The right section has lower brick walls with weather-boarded timber framing above, both sections topped with thatched roofs. The left section includes three casement windows with glazing bars, while the right section has two stable doors and three casement windows with glazing bars. Adjacent to this is another barn with cob walls resting on a brick and flint base, which is buttressed and has a corrugated iron roof. There is also a lean-to extension at the front of this barn, covered with a corrugated iron roof.
