Type: Museum

The Richard Jefferies House and Museum is dedicated to the memory of one of England's most individual writers on nature and the countryside. A video of Jefferies Land, produced by the Richard Jefferies Society, can be viewed at the Museum. The film visits local places that inspired the author's writing aptly illustrated with appropriate quotations. There is a library of books on loan and for sale along with a selection of postcards and pamphlets. Please note that the museum is on three floors. The main displays are not accessible wheelchair users.
