Richard Jefferies Museum, Swindon, Wiltshire



This 17th Century cottage is the birthplace of author Richard Jefferies and is now run as a museum by the Richard Jefferies Museum Trust and a dedicated group of enthusiastic volunteers.  The building is Grade II listed - details of the listing can be seen at:  Historic England.

Should you wish to visit the house, please go to their website for information about opening hours and practical information:  http://richardjefferies.org/.  There are all sorts of extra events and activities through the summer and beyond, and perhaps you might stop off in their tearoom too.

The blue plaque was organised by the Swindon Heritage team and was unveiled on Sunday 2nd June 2019.

Our photographs are, well, not good!  We visited on a very wet evening in June and only managed to snap a couple of photos as we and the camera were getting wet.  They are dull and uninspiring to say the least.  But until we visit again they will have to do.
