Description:

Cogges is a unique, working museum depicting Oxfordshire rural life in Victorian times set in an historic manor house and Cotswold stone farm buildings. 

Visitors take a step back in time when they enter the beautiful farmstead with its original Cotswold buildings and meet traditional breeds of farm animals including cows, sheep, pigs and chickens.  Characters from Cogges' history describe life on a working farm in an audio tour of the farm buildings and displays of farm implements and machinery. Regular demonstrations of farm work such as hand-milking and butter-making add to the experience and help bring the museum to life.  In the manor house, visitors can meet the Victorian maids and watch while they go about their daily duties, including baking on the working kitchen range, washing and cleaning.
