Cogges Manor Farm Museum |
||||||||||
|
Come to Cogges to discover life in rural Oxfordshire in Victorian times. You step back in time when you enter the beautiful farmstead with its original Cotswold buildings. Parts of the manor house are over 700 years old; now you can see what life was like here 100 years ago.
In the kitchen you can sample
home baking fresh from the kitchen range and talk to the 'Victorian maids' to find out about the history of the house and the people who lived here. There's plenty to keep the children happy too, from building models to dressing up and playing with Victorian games.
Everyone will enjoy meeting the animals in the farm
yard, discovering the agricultural displays and visting the walled Victorian Kitchen garden, before going on a riverside walk and exploring the fields beyond.
The cafeteria in the old milking parlour, provides sandwiches, light lunches, drinks, home-made cakes and ice creams. You can also visit the well-stocked shop to buy books, postcards, gifts , free-range eggs from
the farm and seasonal garden produce.
There are daily demonstrations of baking in the Victorian kitchen, handmilking and feeding the pigs, as well as buttermaking on most Sundays.
Facilities for Disabled - Car parking near entrance. Toilet for disabled people. Wheelchair bookable (subject to availability).
Tape commentary and history file for Manor House first floor rooms.
