Cogges Manor Farm Museum is a working museum with an historic manor house and original Cotswold stone farm buildings. The 20 acre farm is stocked with traditional Victorian breeds of farm animals and there are displays of farm implements and machinery. The manor house has recently been restored and displays on the first floor include a Victorian bedroom and nursery; a rare example of a 17th century decorative scheme survives in a room displayed as the private study of wool merchant William Blake. There is cooking on the kitchen range each afternoon and regular demonstrations of farm and dairy work, as well as traditional craft activities and special weekend events.

The Medieval Palace remains were once one of the twenty-four palaces situated around the Diocese of the Bishop of Winchester. These excavations reveal that the palace not only had to accommodate the Bishop and his retinue and include space for judical proceedings, eating, sleeping and stabling, but also function as a luxury hotel in the event of a Royal visit.
