The Abbey Cottages
The Abbey Cottages are a continuous terrace of small timber-framed buildings dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century. They are believed to have been built by and for the monks of the abbey. This beautiful row of cottages houses the John Moore Countryside Museum. John Moore was a local author of books on the area and also a broadcaster. A few doors along you will find another museum which is called the 'Little Museum'. This museum is a restored merchant's house, retaining many of it's medieval features.
