Church Farm Museum

Church Farm Museum Skegness is set around a 1760's farmhouse that is furnished for the period 1900-1910 and the room settings are styled as if the inhabitants have just stepped out for a moment. There are barns and other buildings, and they have a steam engine and thrashing machine. They also have a number of tractors and an exhibition of Victorian childhood.

Demonstrations of baking in the farmhouse kitchen, pus a blacksmith working in the forge. Also seasonal activities throughout the year. Probably not enough on this site to justify a long trip to visit, but perhaps if you were in this area, or combining this with other activities then this would be worth a visit. They don't have enough volunteers to run everything they would like every day so if you want to know what's likely to be on, or you want to see something specificthen call them.

This page is a Quick Guide, the idea of Quick Guides is to allow very basic information and linking forward information to be added to the system rather than having to wait until a full location guide has been developed. It should therefore be considered a development stage rather than a finished objective. Once more information is known the objective is to create either a Location or Featured Location page which has two grids and far more information.

Please let us know any other information that we can add to the Further information and Planning Grids or page and any errors that you discover. Before making a long trip to any location it is always wise to double check the current information, websites like magazines may be correct at the time the information is written, but things change and it is of course impossible to double check all entries on a regular basis. If you have any good photographs that you feel would improve the illustration of this page then please let us have copies. In referring to this page it is helpful if you quote the CIN Page Ref at the bottom of the Planning Grid above. To print the planning grid select it then right click and print the selected area.

Please submit information on locations you discover so that this system continues to grow.
