Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, Open-air museum in Stoke Heath, England.

The museum spans across 19 acres of grounds, featuring over 30 different historic buildings and structures relocated from their original locations to prevent demolition.

Established in 1963, this institution became England's first open-air museum following the rescue of a 15th-century timber-framed house in Bromsgrove.

The exhibition includes a medieval Town House, a Victorian church from 1891, and numerous structures representing different periods of British architectural heritage.

The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday, providing guided tours, disabled access facilities, and two designated children's play areas throughout the grounds.

The site houses the National Telephone Kiosk Collection, displaying the evolution of British telecommunications through preserved phone booths.
