Ruddington Framework Knitters Museum is a small independent working museum, operated by a charitable trust. It is based on a complex of workshops, cottages, and outbuildings arranged around a garden courtyard, together with a former chapel in which many of the knitters worshipped. The site has been restored to show the working and living conditions of 19th century framework knitters and their families. Facilities include a small library, study centre, shop, and tearoom.
