Cottage News 2012 Opening Work over the winter has seen a new gutter on the back and repainting of the inside wall on the top floor with a revised exhibition on the origins of our towns. The other exhibitions are being dusted off and replaced! This year we have three new volunteers helping us out. Dorothy and John have set the four-post loom up again and Alison has done an explanatory panel on cloth production. The place is constantly changing and members and friends are welcome to join in and help, in particular with staffing at weekends. The Cottage is always a good place to meet people who are interested in history and environmental matters and we have many a good lively debate over the proverbial cup of tea - currently a wide selection of speciality teas, too. Souvenirs We try to have a good selection of souvenirs and local books on sale, including bits and pieces made here on the looms. Any local groups with products to sell for their funds are welcome to contact us and we will put them on display.
