Heritage Open Day: Marton Museum of Country Bygones is open all day with displays of farming tools, dairy, sheep & needlecraft. For our 15th HODs we have a blacksmith demonstration, a spinning wheel in action, corn dollies, a diorama, activities & trails for children. Our Everyday Histories are of Marton residents from 200 years ago, when the village included a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a thatcher, a butcher, a pump maker, a saddler, a coal haggler, a carpenter (who was also the undertaker), a builder, a baker and an ale brewer, a miller, a plumber/glazier, a doctor surgeon, a painter/decorator, a shoemaker, a tailor and a bricklayer. We pay tribute to the collector, George Tims, who founded the original museum in the 1960s...
