A group of buildings at the museum

The Weald and Downland Living Museum (formerly known as the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum) is an open-air museum in Singleton in Sussex, seven miles north of Chichester, off the A286. It is run as a registered charity.[1]

The Museum covers 40 acres, with over 50 historic buildings dating from the year 950 to the nineteenth century, along with gardens, farm animals, walks and a mill pond.

The buildings at the Museum were all threatened with destruction but were carefully dismantled, conserved and rebuilt in their original form at the Museum. These buildings, plus two archaeological reconstructions, help the Museum bring to life the homes, farmsteads and rural industries of the last 950 years. Many buildings situated there are over four hundred years old, and still stand strong. Along with the buildings, there are "hands-on" activities, like cooking, and weaving, and a number of yearly activities, including seasonal shows, historic gardens weekend and Tree Dressing.

The Museum (Court Barn and Smithy) hosted the BBC TV series The Repair Shop in 2017.[2]

Location

Buildings

Barn

The barn was originally built at Prior's Leaze Farm, Hambrook, Sussex, in 1771.[3] It has a timber frame of oak and elm clad with weatherboards, and a roof thatched with reed.[3] The barn houses an exhibition showing traditional building materials and building methods,[4] including displays on bricklaying, glass work, lead work, iron work, tiling and thatching.[3]

Bayleaf barn

This timber-framed barn dates from 1536 and originally stood at Cowfold, Sussex. It forms a farmstead with Bayleaf farmhouse.[5]

Bayleaf farmhouse

Bayleaf farmhouse is a timber-framed Wealden hall house with a peg tile roof, dating from the early fifteenth century. The building has four rooms on the ground floor and two on the first floor.[6] The house has vertical shutters to some of the windows, and a garderobe on the first floor.[7] It was originally built at Ide Hill,[8] Kent, and was donated to the Museum in 1968 by the East Surrey Water Company as it was threatened with destruction by the creation of Bough Beech Reservoir.[9] The building was dismantled in the winter of 1968–69.[6]

Brick-drying shed

The brick-drying shed was originally at Petersfield, Hampshire. It dates from the 18th century and houses an exhibition of traditional brickmaking.[10]

Carpenter's shop

The carpenter's shop was originally built at Windlesham, Surrey, and dates from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.[11]

Cattle sheds

There are three open-fronted cattle sheds at the Museum. They originally stood at Goodwood, Kirdford and Lurgashall in Sussex and date from the eighteenth century.[12]

Charcoal Burner's camp

The Charcoal Burner's camp shows the process of making charcoal. The kiln had to be watched whilst the charcoal was being produced, so the burner lived on-site in a hut.[13]

Court barn

Court barn dates from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. It was originally built at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. The building houses an exhibition on the use of lead in buildings and plumbing, stonemasonry and stained glass work.[14] The barn was dismantled in 1976 and re-erected at the Museum in 1980. The work was funded by the Worshipful Company of Plumbers.[15] The BBC TV series The Repair Shop was largely filmed in the barn in 2017.[16]

Crane

The crane was made by John Smith Ltd of Keighley, Yorkshire, in 1900 and was originally installed at a farm in Alton, Hampshire. It is rated at 5 tons capacity and is worked by hand. It forms part of a reconstructed timber yard.[17]

Farmhouse

The farmhouse dates from the sixteenth century with extensions and alterations through to the twentieth century. It was originally built at Folkestone, Kent, and was threatened by the construction of the Channel Tunnel. It was dismantled in 1992 and currently serves as the Museum's shop and offices.[18]

Granary

The granary was built in 1731[19] at West Ashling,[20] Sussex. It has a timber frame filled with bricks, and a thatched roof. The building measures 20 feet square, which makes it one of the larger granaries. It is built on sixteen staddle stones as an anti-vermin measure.[19]

Gridshell

The Gridshell building

The Weald and Downland Gridshell was constructed in 2000–2002. An innovative design built primarily to create an accessible store for the Museum's rural life collection, it also houses the Museum's conservation workshops, and an exhibition area is in the foyer. The building has won eight awards, and was runner-up for the Royal Institute of British Architects 2003 Stirling Prize.[21]

Boarhunt Hall

Boarhunt Hall

The hall is a mediæval hall house was originally built at Boarhunt, Hampshire, in the fifteenth century.[22] It is of cruck frame construction, with brick walls and a thatched roof. The building was rescued in 1971. Photographs show that the house was extended to about double its original size but only the mediæval section of the house was dismantled and re-erected at the Museum.[23]

The hall is about 17 feet square in plan, with a service room at one end. The other end of the original building was lost due to various extensions and alterations over the centuries. The reconstructed building contains about 30% of the original timbers, which would normally prevent its reconstruction. An exception has been made in this case as the surviving original timbers are well distributed, and because of its unique cruck frame construction.[24]

Horse Whim

The horse whim is housed in an open-fronted thatched shed that was originally at Charlwood, Surrey. It was used to raise water from a well. The horse whim was originally built at West Kingsdown, Kent.[25] It was rescued by the Museum in 1980[26] and re-erected in 2000.[25]

House, Lavant

This house dates from the seventeenth century. It originally stood at Lavant, Sussex. Externally it has been restored to its seventeenth century appearance, but it has a modern interior. The building is used as an education room for school and youth visits to the Museum.[27]

House, Walderton

This house was originally built at Walderton, Sussex. It has a timber frame dating from the fifteenth century, with flint external walls added in the seventeenth century. It has a thatched roof.[28]

House extension

This building was the rear extension of a house in Reigate, Surrey, added in the seventeenth century. It has two carved fireplaces and there are the remains of wall paintings. This building is not currently open to the public.[29]

Joinery shop

The joinery shop was originally built at Witley, Surrey, and dates from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. It houses an exhibition on building construction.[11]

Market Hall

The Market Hall

The Market Hall dates from the seventeenth century and was originally built at Titchfield, Hampshire. It has a lock-up on the ground floor and the first-floor room served as the town council chamber.[30] When the Market Hall was dismantled and re-erected at the Museum, it was the second time that had happened. The building had been moved from its original location in the centre of Titchfield to another site in the mid-nineteenth century.[31]

Mediæval house, North Cray

This mediæval hall house was originally built at North Cray, Kent. It is timber-framed with a peg tile roof. The external timbers are painted red.[32]

Mediæval house, Sole Street

A mediæval hall house originally built at Sole Street, Kent, has been rebuilt here and is used as a restaurant and tea room.[33] It has a timber frame and peg tile roof.

Mediæval shops

The ' Mediæval shops' are a three-storeyed building dating from the fifteenth century, which building houses a pair of shops. It was originally built at Horsham in northern Sussex. The three-storey building has jettied upper floors. It is timber-framed with a peg tile roof and peg tiles to the upper floors on at least one side. The upper floors serve as the Museum's library and are not normally open to the public.[34]

Open shed

The open shed dates from the eighteenth century and was originally built at Charlwood, Surrey. It served as a cart shed and also a saw shed.[35]

The shed was dismantled in 1999, the work being partly funded by the British Airports Authority. When it was reconstructed at the Museum in 2000, the horse whim from West Kingsdown, Kent, was installed.[36]

Pendean farmhouse

Pendean farmhouse

Pendean farmhouse is a hall house originally built at West Lavington, Sussex,[37] in 1609.[38]

Instead of an open hall there is a central chimney with fireplaces on both ground and first floors. It retains some features from sixteenth-century practice, such as unglazed windows.[37] The building has a timber frame, with brick infill to the ground floor and wattle and daub infill to the first floor. It was re-erected at the Museum in 1975.

The discovery of a postcard of the building at its original site showed that the chimney had not been reconstructed correctly in 1975, and so the chimney was rebuilt in January 2001 to a more accurate profile.[38] The house is furnished in period style.[39]

Poplar cottage

Poplar Cottage

Poplar cottage is a small timber-framed, thatched building dating from the seventeenth century. It was originally built at Washington, Sussex.[40] The building dates from between 1550 and 1630. It was donated to the Museum in 1982 and carefully dismantled in that year. It was re-erected in 1999, the work being funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.[41]

Work on re-erecting the building began on 10 April 1999, the timbers having been prepared over the previous winter.[42] The outside wall of the smoke bay was infilled with sandstone, whilst the rest of the building was infilled with wattle and daub. The roof was thatched.[43]

Plumber's workshop

The plumber's workshop dates from the late nineteenth century and was originally built at Newick, Sussex. The upper floor served as a glazier's workshop.[44]

Pugmill House

Pugmill House is a brick- and stone-built building which originally stood at Redford, Sussex. It housed a horse-powered pug mill, which was used to prepare clay for brickmaking.[45]

Saw-pit shed

This nineteenth-century shed was originally built at Sheffield Park, Sussex. It houses a range of tools used in the conversion of trees to finished timber.[46]

School

The school dates from the nineteenth century, and was used as a school for educating poor children in the early part of that century. It was originally built at West Wittering and is of brick and flint construction with a tiled roof.[47]

Stable

The stable dates from the mid-eighteenth century and was originally built at Watersfield, Sussex. It is timber-framed, clad in weatherboarding and has a peg tile roof. The building can house up to five horses or oxen.[48]

Shelter shed

The open-fronted shelter shed was originally built at Coldwaltham, Hampshire.[49]

Smithy

The smithy was built in the mid-nineteenth century. It was originally at Southwater, Sussex.[50]

Treadwheel

The treadwheel dates from the early seventeenth century. It was probably not worked by a horse due to its size. The treadwheel is housed in a small timber-framed building with a thatched roof and was originally built at Catherington, Hampshire.[51]

Toll cottage

The toll cottage is typical of those of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It originally stood on a road built in 1807 at Beeding, Sussex. It has been set up with a recreated tollgate and milestone.[52]

Upper Hall

The Upper Hall dates from the fifteenth century and has a long, open room on the first floor, which probably served as a communal meeting place. It was originally built at Crawley, Sussex,[53] behind Tree House—the old manor house of Crawley.[54] The building was threatened with demolition due to an extension to an office building.

Of the original four bays, two complete bays remained, plus a third of another. The original building would have been some 36 feet long. The original roof covering would have been Horsham Slab, which was replaced when the building was re-erected at the Museum.[55] Only the centre part of the present building is the original. The ends are modern reconstructions replicating contemporary practice.

The Upper Hall is used as the Museum's library and meeting place and is not normally open to the public.[53] The Worshipful Company of Drapers donated £5,000, which was used to part-fund the dismantling and re-erection of the building at the Museum.[56]

Wagon shed

The wagon shed dates from the eighteenth century. It was originally built at Wiston, Sussex.[57]

Watermill

The watermill dates from the early seventeenth century,[58] and was working until 1935.[59] It is in working order, and flour from the mill is sold in the Museum shop. The mill was originally built at Lurgashall, Sussex,[58] to serve Petworth House and Park.

At one time the mill may have been used in the grinding of bark for use in the tanning process.[60] In 1968, the derelict mill was damaged by floods, causing the millstones to fall through the rotting floors.[61]

The mill was originally powered by a tributary of the River Rother. At one time the mill had two waterwheels, each working two pairs of millstones. The 12-foot diameter overshot waterwheel, which was originally cast at Cocking Foundry for Coster's Mill, West Lavington, drives the two pairs of millstone, a sack hoist and flour dresser.[20] The machinery in the mill was installed in 1911.[62]

The mill was donated to the Museum in 1973 and carefully dismantled,[59] at which time evidence was found of a previous use of the site as a hammer mill.[63] Re-erection and restoration of the machinery took seven years.[59]

Whittaker's cottages

Whittaker's cottages are a pair of timber-built cottages under a slate roof. They were originally built at Ashtead, Surrey. One cottage is furnished in nineteenth-century style and the other is unfurnished to better show its construction.[64]

Windpump

The Westham Windpump
Main article: Westham Windpump

The Westham Windpump is a windmill built to pump water for drainage. It is a hollow post mill that was built in the mid-nineteenth century at Westham, Sussex (TQ640043).[65]

The mi;; was marked on an 1860 map.[66] The windpump was re-erected at the Museum in 1975.[67]

Winkhurst kitchen

This sixteenth-century building was originally part of a larger building at Sundridge, Kent. It is timber-framed with a crown-post roof.[68] The building dates from between 1492 and 1537. It was the first building acquired by the Museum. Dismantled in 1968, it was re-erected at the Museum at a site that later proved to be unsuitable. Therefore, it was decided that the building should again be dismantled and re-erected at another site within the Museum, with modern extensions designed to allow the building to be better interpreted by visitors.[69] The building was dismantled in December 2001[70] and reconstructed for the second time between February and May 2002.[71] The interior of the building has been re-created as a working Tudor kitchen.

Awards

The museum won the National Heritage and Illustrated London News Museum of the Year Award in 1975.[72]
