The restoration of Mrs Smith’s Cottage is currently being restored thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
A preserved example of a traditional Lincolnshire relatively untouched for a century, Mrs Smith’s Cottage offers a unique insight into life in Lincolnshire in the early 1900s. Mrs Smith was the last resident of the cottage and through her carefully preserved diaries we know what she enjoyed doing, how she decorated her home and how it was in Navenby at that time.
