A little history
A.E. Housman — whose A Shropshire Lad became one of the most beloved poetry collections in English — was born near Bromsgrove in 1859. The Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts produced extraordinary metalwork — the gates at Buckingham Palace and the ironwork at the Ritz Hotel in London are their work. Avoncroft Museum preserves historic buildings rescued from demolition.
Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings is genuinely extraordinary — historic buildings saved and re-erected on site, including a working windmill. The A.E. Housman connection is celebrated. The town centre for local shopping.
