Folk and Costume Museum

To the rear of the house, beyond the tearoom, is the National Trust of Guernsey’s recently upgraded and extended Folk and Costume Museum 6 [map] (www.nationaltrust-gsy.org.gg; mid-Mar–Oct daily 10am–5pm, last entry 4.15pm; charge). This excellent museum, within 18th-century farm buildings grouped around a cobbled courtyard, shows life on the island as it used to be around 100 years ago. The first part contains a series of reconstructed rooms showing a typical Guernsey farmhouse kitchen, and the town house parlour of a middle-class home with period costumes and furnishings. Upstairs a display on childhood includes a school room, complete with school benches.
