Every house needs a bedroom and this is set up more as a child’s room. Although some people find the doll collection a little scarey, many dolls are well over 100 years old and have been well loved over the decades.

Notice the wash stand in the far corner and the “guzunder” bed slipper pan. There was no running water in the house at that time so a jug with water was a great way to refresh after a sleepy night. At times of sickness, with no modern toilet, the bed pan was a useful way for a carer to remove “*&^@$*”

On the wall is a brass pan with a long handle, ready to put hot coals in and slide down to the end of a cold bed and when, removed, provided a nice w area to warm feet.
