Petworth Cottage Museum

It has been restored and furnished as it might have been in about 1910 when the occupier was a Mrs. Mary Cummings, an Irish Catholic.

Mary worked as a seamstress at nearby Petworth House and at home.

[1] The collection also includes two oil on canvas paintings by an unknown artist.

These show an exterior and an interior view of Petworth Gaol, or House of Correction, in the 1860s.

Volunteer staff provide information and guided tours.
