The Woodhall Spa Cottage Museum is a unique opportunity to travel back in time and see how a local family lived at the turn of the last century.
The Woodhall Spa Cottage Museum is a joy to explore and packed with intriguing stories and displays about Woodhall Spa, the local area and the Wield family, who lived in the building from 1887 until the 1960’s.
The Museum building itself is an important Museum exhibit. It is a rare surviving example of a bungalow constructed of corrugated iron on a wooden frame that was erected in the late nineteenth century.
John Wield (1877-1965) was a keen photographer and his photographic collection is the basis of the Museum. The collection of images is a unique and valuable record of life in Woodhall Spa and includes images of both people and the local area.
The local Spa waters were taken as a health benefit for many years and displays show life during the period that the old Spa and Victoria hospital were in use.
