Since it opened in 1967 Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings has developed into one of Britain’s best-known award-winning open-air museums. The museum was conceived after a campaign in 1962 by local people to prevent the demolition of an ancient timber framed house in Bromsgrove. The Mediaeval town house became the first exhibit to be repaired and re-erected on the site and was soon followed by many more. Today there over 30 rescued Historic Buildings spanning 700 years including Victorian Toll house, 1940s prefab, Windmill & the National Telephone Kiosk Collection. The rural location backdrop is the perfect setting for weddings, filming, learning, and events. The museum has become the home for annual Festivals.
