The Museum artefacts have been temporarily removed
from the House and put into storage, as the Manor House awaits the start
of a substantial restoration programme.
Generous donations to the fund are welcome.
To the rear of the Manor House is the Hackett Barn,
which is a museum of memorabilia and bygones: it contains lovingly restored
examples of agricultural and other machinery, as well as a fine Victorian
hearse, the original Alford town stocks, carts, a horse-drawn fire engine,
and many other fascinating exhibits.
