Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings

A real "time machine" of historic buildings and crafts from long ago. Over seven centuries of historic buildings have been rescued from neglect and brought to this site just outside Bromsgrove. From a timber-framed medieval hall to the national collection of telephone kiosks (with Dr Who's Tardis), there's something for everyone here!

There's a series of traditional farm buildings including a working windmil, a Victorian gaol, church, and toll cottage, a 19th century workshop, and an ongoing programme of special events and skills demonstrations. The buildings are all authentic, not models, and give a wonderful sense of what life was like at various stages of British history.
