Church Cottage Museum is a 16th-century cottage in Broughton, City of Preston, Lancashire, England.
The cottage is grade II listed[1] and is operated as a small museum, open on Sunday afternoons.[2][3][4]
The cottage was built in the 16th century and over time was used as an inn and a school room as well as a residence. After the death of its last tenant in 1986 the building became neglected, but it was restored after local fundraising which included a grant from British Aerospace and was opened as a museum by Princess Alexandra in 1995.[3][4]
