Mrs Smith’s Diary – 1964 – "here all-day papering & painting".

Mrs Smith redecorated her cottage regularly ensuring that her home always looks its best when she had visitors.

Lincoln Conservation took samples of the cottage paintwork and wallpapers, as part of our Heritage Fund restoration project. This research has helped us to select new wallpapers and paints during the redecoration of the cottage, ensuring that the cottage looks as Mrs Smith would have left it.

Coming soon we will have a new exhibition will display the wallpapers found here at Mrs Smith’s Cottage. Full details to be announced shortly.

This exhibition will be free to attend, however standard admission applies if you wish to explore the cottage.

Are you doing No Mow May?

We are asking our followers to join the #NoMowMay challenge.

Many pollinators are just starting to emerge, searching for food and shelter so that they can thrive this summer. A ‘messy’ lawn, full of daisies and dandelions, will provide the food and shelter these species need.

All you need to do is nothing. Keep that mower in the shed and give nature a chance to thrive.

Find out more about No Mow May here:
