Knutsford Heritage Centre

Knutsford Heritage Centre Knutsford Heritage Centre is set in the heart of Knutsford in a reconstructed 17th century timber fr The centre is open throughout the year.

Knutsford Heritage Centre is housed in a reconstructed 17th century timber framed building previously known as Musgrave’s Yard. Evidence of its previous existence as a tinsmith, ironmonger and brazier is clear, with a forge, anvil and an original set of bellows now preserved and all on display. Once no longer viable as an ironmonger’s, the site had sadly been left to ruin over the years but in 198

8, The Groundwork Trust invested £100,000 to renovate and develop the area into what is now The Heritage Centre. Working as an independent charity, The Heritage Centre continues to grow and develop, always aiming to ‘protect, present and promote Knutsford’s rich and diverse heritage for the benefit of its residents and visitors.’

Admission to the Centre is FREE but we welcome donations.

The forecast is looking good for the Lions Fair on the heath on Monday.
Last year there was rain but it didn't stop the mayor from putting a stitch or two in our tapestry.
Come and find us and help by adding some more stitches.
We'll also have a lucky dip and various items for sale.
Afterwards why not pop down to the heritage centre, open from 2pm to 5pm that afternoon, and view the actually 40ft long Knutsford tapestry!
