For many years the family at Jeyes have been proud to have given a home to the Earls Barton Museum of Village Life – welcoming so many visitors, some researching family trees, historians, children and families on holiday from all over the world. The museum depicts the lifestyle and industry of a traditional shoe worker, you can find out how shoe workers lived, how they worked and how they shopped.

It is a fascinating look at life ‘in the good old days’. The museum is run by a team of village volunteers who open the museum Monday to Saturday from 9am-5pm. If you are interested in arranging a school trip, a group visit or to research local history then please pre-arrange your visit by contacting Iona Flanagan on 01604 811735 or one of the Jeyes team will happily help with any requests.
