HACKETT BARN MUSEUM at ALFORD MANOR HOUSE
Hackett Barn Museum is part of the Alford Manor House Complex. Situated at the rear of the 17th century thatched Manor, it houses many of the towns historic artifacts. A rare, complete, man-driven, wheelwrights lathe, complete with tools and samples, is a major exhibit. A Winnower, Huller and Threshing Machine are reminders of our farming heritage. Many old workmens tools, including a carpenters chest, complete with all the tools, that once belonged to one of the towns Doctors, is on display. A Cobblers shop, with leather patterns, old studded boots, clogs, hobbing irons etc is almost completed. Also many items from one of the towns old chemist shops are being assembled into a pharmacy display. A beautiful Victorian covered hearse is an interesting exhibit. Also an outside wooden lavatory causes many comments and amusing stories! Many unusual items donated by local people, and a fine selection of old kitchen memorabilia, are always on display.
