Hackett Barn Museum is part of the Alford Manor House Complex. Situated at the rear of the 17th century thatched Manor, it houses many of the towns historic artifacts. A rare, complete, man-driven, wheelwrights lathe, complete with tools and samples, is a major exhibit. A Winnower, Huller and Threshing Machine are reminders of our farming heritage. Many old workmens tools, including a carpenters chest, complete with all the tools, that once belonged to one of the towns Doctors, is on display. A feature is the Bootmakers shop, with leather patterns, old studded boots, clogs, hobbing iron . Also many items from one of the towns old chemist shops are in a pharmacy display. A beautiful Victorian covered hearse is an interesting exhibit. Also an outside wooden lavatory causes many comments and amusing stories! Many unusual items donated by local people, and a fine selection of old kitchen memorabilia, are always on display.
