Open March to November, this museum is in a 16th-century Yeoman’s house, a tithe (tax-collector’s home). The building was constructed in 1536 and enlarged later, in Queen Elizabeth’s reign as a gentleman’s residence. In the 18th century this building housed workers for Sir Richard Arkwright’s mills. The Old House has decoration and architecture from Tudor to Victorian times, furnished with grand fireplaces, wooden beams and walls of wattle and daub. You can see a display of period textiles, as well as tableaux showing Christopher Plant, the Tudor tithe collector at his ledger, and learn the story of the Bakewell Pudding in the kitchen.
