Our Garden
With wonderful views to the west over the village, the garden has many medeival plants for culinary and medicinal purposes. There are old english roses and the apple and fruit trees are the scene of 'Wassailing in January each year.
Dovery Manor Museum is a not-for-profit Charitable organisation whose aim is to provide a fantastic insight to the history of this lovely Exmoor village and nearby communities.
We do not have paid staff - what you get is the result of an enthusiastic group of volunteers who give their time freely, enabling your great experience of this place.
Sadly the rent & services still have to be paid, so we would be most grateful - if you enjoyed your visit - if you could manage a donation towards the ongoing costs of the museum. If you are a UK taxpayer, please consider using the Gift Aid scheme to make your gift even more valuable.
