The Museum

Ground floor

The rooms are furnished and decorated in the manner of 17th century and are aimed at giving a true feeling of what it was like to live in Walton's day

First Floor

A small (due to the size of the cottage) but a good collection old and antique fishing tackle is to be seen which shows both the crudity of some very old tackle and the wonderful skill and workmanship that went into other old equipment.

The collection of fishing reels is of special importance.

The Reading Room

The room contains a collection of angling books and artefacts connected with angling.

A facsimile of Walton’s actual will was purchased by Stafford Borough Council in 1994 and is now on display in the museum. The original is in America.

A video telling of Walton, angling and the Cottage can be seen by visitors.
