Mrs Smith's Cottage would have been a cold place to live.
Residents of the cottage had to be careful to avoid the cold without wasting resources!
It would have been common for Mrs Smith to sleep with her clothes between layers of blankets, ensuring they would be both warm and ironed when she got up in the morning. This would make getting out of bed to light the fires more comfortable.

We need your fabric scraps!
Here at the cottage we want to make use of recycled materials in our craft projects.
If you have any fabric offcuts or scrap fabric hanging around in your sewing stash, please consider dropping it into the cottage.
No piece of fabric is too small!

We are open 12noon to 4pm every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
