Weald and Downland Living Museum
Weald and Downland Living Museum, Open-air museum in Singleton, United Kingdom.
The museum spans 40 acres and contains more than 50 historic buildings, featuring traditional farms, houses, workshops, and a functioning watermill.
Founded in 1970, this museum preserves historic structures from Southeast England that were carefully dismantled from their original locations and reconstructed on site.
Traditional craftspeople demonstrate historical techniques while working with period tools in restored workshops, sharing knowledge of rural English traditions.
Visitors can access the museum daily from 10:30 to 18:00, with designated parking areas and a cafe serving local refreshments.
The Gridshell building, completed in 2002, uses innovative curved timber construction to house the museum's conservation workshops and rural life collection.
