Come and discover rescued traditional rural buildings set in a beautiful landscape, which tell the stories of the men, women and children who lived and worked in them over a 950-year period.

Enjoy the Museum’s 40-acre site and visit our collection of historic buildings – we have 50 to explore. There is a regular programme of domestic and craft demonstrations, including cooking in our Tudor kitchen; blacksmithing in our Victorian smithy; plus seasonal demonstrations. Take a walk in the woods, bring the dog (we are dog friendly), visit the café kiosk or enjoy your own picnic.

-The [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''General Register Office'''] holds a central copy of all birth, marriage, and death registrations in England. These certificates can be ordered from their [https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ '''website'''] (a login is required but it is free to register and search). However, in some cases research can be more efficient working with the smaller, more specific records collections of county/district registry offices.

-Sometimes research might be required to determine where a town or parish was in a former registration district, or even its current district.  For a list of the '''historic and current registration districts and their parishes''', see [https://www.ukbmd.org.uk/reg/SSX.html UKBMD: Registration Districts in Sussex].
