John Clare’s Cottage, Opening a Door into the Countryside

We aim to develop the John Clare Cottage and Gardens into a Museum and open learning centre, to protect an important piece of National Heritage, inspire children through poetry and the rural environment, specifically identifying the key issues that have affected the environment since the eighteenth century when John Clares garden would have featured his extensive botanical interests and those issues affecting the environment in the 21st century and how best to preserve the rural environment for the future.
