The Woodchurch Village Life Museum is a museum and visitor attraction in the Kentish village of Woodchurch between the market towns of Ashford and Tenterden. The museum is housed in an eighteenth-century oak-framed barn and seventeenth-century cart shed on a rural site close to the village centre. The collection is varied—from large agricultural wagons to tiny hop tokens and dates from the Stone Age to the present day—but all with a connection to the parish. These artefacts trace the story of the village from prehistory through to Woodchurch today with its community of just over 2,000 people.[1]
