Cogges Manor Farm Museum Description
Cogges Manor Farm Museum is a working museum depicting Oxfordshire rural life in
Victorian times set in an historic manor farmhouse with buildings of Cotswold stone.
Cogges Manor Farm is an award winning museum that discovers what life was like for
the Victorians living in West Oxfordshire. Visitors step back in time
to visit a working period farm where traditional breeds of farm animals including cows,
sheep, pigs and chickens live or roam around the farmyard.
Victorian maids bring the Museum to life and visitors can watch while they go about
their daily work, including baking on the working kitchen range, washing, cleaning, hand-milking
and butter-making.

Facilities include a cafeteria in the old milking parlour, which provides sandwiches, light lunches, drinks, home-made cakes and ice creams.
