A good number of visitors this afternoon from Burford, Chippy, Stow on Wold - and Hertfordshire! It was lovely to be open again to share our displays and temporary exhibition. See you next weekend? #oxfordshiremuseums

Lots of cobwebs cleared away at the weekend and we are now spick and span and ready to open on 1 April until September. Sat & Sun and Public Hol afternoons. #wearealittlegem #oxfordshiremuseums

A rather unusual evening coming up:a talk at Churchill village hall on Mon 14 Nov 7.30 on a local event which has been largely forgotten - a Prize Fight in front of an audience of 1000. It involves a cast of characters & presents vibrant picture of mid-19C Cotswold village life!

Since we re-opened, we've had wonderfully sunny weekends to share our new exhibition. Open every Sat & Sun afternoons until end September. OX7 6NA. https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0

All ready for our weekend opening with displays in place. They tell the story of the biggest event in the history of our village – a fire in 1684 that had dire consequences. And all caused by a case of hearth tax avoidance! https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0 @HearthTax

Cakebread made today to a 17C recipe - all ready to be displayed in our new exhibition, opening on the 22nd. After all, it was a baker who caused the devastating fire that burnt down the village! #oxfordshiremuseums #oxonmuseums #oxfordshire https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0

[churchill heritage @Churchillherit]

To food historians out there – can you help with a recipe for 17C bread? And give me an idea of how it would have looked? I’m wanting a visual aid for our new exhibition, which features a feckless woman baker who set fire to the village in 1684!

Open afternoon with scrummy cakes and tea Sat 6 July 3pm - looking good after expensive maintenance work! Everyone welcome.

#DidYouKnow Jane Austen stayed with relatives in Adlestrop several times - village and area provided inspiration for Mansfield Park...
