"Ruddington Village Museum was founded in 1968. It explores retail life in late Victorian and early Edwardian Ruddington through a series of displays which recreate Ruddington’s shops of yesteryear.

The museum occupies part of Ruddington’s former Victorian school, an imposing building located opposite St. Peter’s Church. The museum's intimate atmosphere and use of open displays make it appealing to elderly visitors and children alike.

All visitors are offered a guided tour of the museum, which lasts, depending on the loquaciousness of the volunteer on duty, between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Furthermore, all guests are also offered a free, comprehensive guide booklet."
