Museum of Rural Life

Waterperry Gardens houses a superb collection of artefacts brought together by current curator Gordon Dempster. This is unique and well-regarded museum which has been the sibject of recent BBC TV and prestigious publication coverage. There is a need for a trainee or knowledgeable enthusiast to work with Gordon with a view to take on the functioning of the museum in the future. This is not a paid position but it is a rare opportunity for the right person.
