Description: | -The collection of folklore items is of national significance. Many of these items were collected by the late Enid Porter, a former Curator of the museum, author of 'Cambridgeshire Customs and Folklore' and editor of many memoirs of Fenland life, and a renowned folklorist. It contains many examples which are rarely found in museums and the objects are well supported by Porter's writings.;The museum has an interesting and important collection of objects associated with childhood. The objects range from items associated with the rearing of children, such as nursery furniture and clothing, as well as their toys and games. The museum possesses an extremely important selection of dolls houses and a good range of dolls."
