Toys & Dolls

A large, varied and ever growing collection of toys, dolls, books and games ranging from Elizabethan wooden dolls to the Pelham puppets along with an early Punch and Judy set.

A host of other toys includes a furnished dolls house plus a selection of tin toys and wind up vehicles.

There is also a varied selection of wax-headed, bisque and composition dolls, most in beautiful Clothes.

Visitors are taken back to their own chidhood days and children can learn how toys were used for education as well as fun.
