  • Five furnished rooms to explore with the help of our guides

  • A 17th century style garden

  • Demonstrations of appropriate music, costume making and needlework as well as periodic re-enactments of domestic life in the 17th century

  • Ongoing conservation of unique wall paintings so that you can see what has been accomplished, how it is done and what has to be done

  • Library and Archives supporting the history of the 17th century and the history of Marlborough
