Knutsford Heritage Centre

Knutsford Heritage Centre Knutsford Heritage Centre is set in the heart of Knutsford in a reconstructed 17th century timber fr The centre is open throughout the year.

Knutsford Heritage Centre is housed in a reconstructed 17th century timber framed building previously known as Musgrave’s Yard. Evidence of its previous existence as a tinsmith, ironmonger and brazier is clear, with a forge, anvil and an original set of bellows now preserved and all on display. Once no longer viable as an ironmonger’s, the site had sadly been left to ruin over the years but in 198

8, The Groundwork Trust invested £100,000 to renovate and develop the area into what is now The Heritage Centre. Working as an independent charity, The Heritage Centre continues to grow and develop, always aiming to ‘protect, present and promote Knutsford’s rich and diverse heritage for the benefit of its residents and visitors.’

Admission to the Centre is FREE but we welcome donations.

At the end of Volunteers Week 2026 we would like to give a massive shout out to volunteers everywhere who put in so much hard work to keep places open; provide help and information; and give their time to support organisations across the country.
And in particular we want to give a big thank you to the volunteers at Knutsford Heritage Centre who work so hard to run the Heritage Centre to promote the history of Knutsford including welcoming visitors; running events; giving talks and lots more.
Watch this space for news of an event to showcase our volunteer work and to give you the chance to come and join us.

For anyone interested in the history of our town there are two exciting events coming in June, organised by the Friends of Knutsford Heritage Centre.

On June 13th local historian Jenny Collis will be leading a guided walk round Tabley Hill Cemetery telling the stories of some of the personalities commemorated there.

If you prefer a seated event then on June 20th heritage centre volunteer Mary Gracie will be looking at the town's past through some picture postcards of bygone Knutsford.
See posters for details.

The forecast is looking good for the Lions Fair on the heath on Monday.
Last year there was rain but it didn't stop the mayor from putting a stitch or two in our tapestry.
Come and find us and help by adding some more stitches.
We'll also have a lucky dip and various items for sale.
Afterwards why not pop down to the heritage centre, open from 2pm to 5pm that afternoon, and view the actually 40ft long Knutsford tapestry!
