A group of buildings at the museum
The Weald and Downland Living Museum (formerly known as the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum) is an open-air museum at grid reference SU 873 128 in Singleton, West Sussex, England, 7 miles (11 km) north of Chichester, on the A286, and is a registered charity.[1] The museum covers 40 acres (16 ha), with over 50 historic buildings dating from 950AD to the 19th century, along with gardens, farm animals, walks and a mill pond.
The buildings at the museum were all threatened with destruction but were carefully dismantled, conserved and rebuilt in their original form at the museum. These buildings, plus two archaeological reconstructions, help the museum bring to life the homes, farmsteads and rural industries of the last 950 years. Many buildings situated there are over four hundred years old, and still stand strong. Along with the buildings, there are "hands-on" activities, like cooking, and weaving, and a number of yearly activities, including seasonal shows, historic gardens weekend and Tree Dressing.
The museum (Court Barn and Smithy) hosted the BBC TV series The Repair Shop in 2017.[2]

Buildings[edit]
Barn[edit]
The barn was originally built at Prior's Leaze Farm, Hambrook, Sussex, in 1771.[3] It has a timber frame of oak and elm clad with weatherboards, and a roof thatched with reed.[3] The barn houses an exhibition showing traditional building materials and building methods,[4] including displays on bricklaying, glass work, lead work, iron work, tiling and thatching.[3]
Bayleaf barn[edit]
This timber-framed barn dates from 1536 and originally stood at Cowfold, Sussex. It forms a farmstead with Bayleaf farmhouse.[5]
Bayleaf farmhouse[edit]
The house being dismantled
Bayleaf farmhouse is a timber-framed Wealden hall house with a peg tile roof, dating from the early 15th century. The building has four rooms on the ground floor and two on the first floor.[6] The house has vertical shutters to some of the windows, and a garderobe on the first floor.[7] It was originally built at Ide Hill,[8] Kent, and was donated to the Museum in 1968 by the East Surrey Water Company as it was threatened with destruction by the creation of Bough Beech Reservoir.[9] The building was dismantled in the winter of 1968–69.[6]
Brick-drying shed[edit]
The brick-drying shed was originally at Petersfield, Hampshire. It dates from the 18th century and houses an exhibition of traditional brickmaking.[10]
Carpenter's shop[edit]
The carpenter's shop was originally built at Windlesham, Surrey, and dates from the late 19th or early 20th century.[11]
Cattle sheds[edit]
There are three open-fronted cattle sheds at the Museum. They originally stood at Goodwood, Kirdford and Lurgashall in Sussex and date from the 18th century.[12]
Charcoal burner's camp[edit]
The charcoal burner's camp shows the process of making charcoal. The kiln had to be watched whilst the charcoal was being produced, so the burner lived on-site in a hut.[13]
Court barn[edit]
Court barn dates from the late 17th or early 18th century. It was originally built at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. The building houses an exhibition on the use of lead in buildings and plumbing, stonemasonry and stained glass work.[14] The barn was dismantled in 1976 and re-erected at the Museum in 1980. The work was funded by the Worshipful Company of Plumbers.[15] The BBC TV series The Repair Shop was largely filmed in the barn in 2017.[16]
Crane[edit]
The crane was made by John Smith Ltd of Keighley, Yorkshire, in 1900 and was originally installed at a farm in Alton, Hampshire. It is rated at 5 tons capacity and is worked by hand. It forms part of a reconstructed timber yard.[17]
Farmhouse[edit]
The farmhouse dates from the 16th century with extensions and alterations through to the 20th century. It was originally built at Folkestone, Kent, and was threatened by the construction of the Channel Tunnel. It was dismantled in 1992 and currently serves as the Museum's shop and offices.[18]
Granary[edit]
The granary was built in 1731[19] at West Ashling,[20] Sussex. It has a timber frame filled with bricks, and a thatched roof. The building measures 20 feet (6.10 m) square, which makes it one of the larger granaries. It is built on sixteen staddle stones as an anti-vermin measure.[19]
Gridshell[edit]
The Gridshell building
The Weald and Downland Gridshell was constructed in 2000–2002. An innovative design built primarily to create an accessible store for the Museum's rural life collection, it also houses the Museum's conservation workshops, and an exhibition area is in the foyer. The building has won eight awards, and was runner-up for the RIBA 2003 Stirling Prize.[21]
Hall[edit]
The derelict house in 1971. The portion saved is on the right of the picture.
This medieval hall house was originally built at Boarhunt, Hampshire, in the 15th century.[22] It is of cruck frame construction, with brick walls and a thatched roof. The building was rescued in 1971. Photographs show that the house was extended to about double its original size but only the medieval section of the house was dismantled and re-erected at the Museum.[23] The hall is about 17 feet (5.18 m) square in plan, with a service room at one end. The other end of the original building was lost due to various extensions and alterations over the centuries. The reconstructed building contains about 30% of the original timbers, which would normally prevent its reconstruction. An exception has been made in this case as the surviving original timbers are well distributed, and because of its unique cruck frame construction.[24]
Horse Whim[edit]
The horse whim is housed in an open-fronted thatched shed that was originally at Charlwood, Surrey. It was used to raise water from a well. The horse whim was originally built at West Kingsdown, Kent.[25] It was rescued by the Museum in 1980[26] and re-erected in 2000.[25]
House, Lavant[edit]
This house dates from the 17th century. It originally stood at Lavant, West Sussex. Externally it has been restored to its 17th-century appearance, but it has a modern interior. The building is used as an education room for school and youth visits to the Museum.[27]
House, Walderton[edit]
This house was originally built at Walderton, Sussex. It has a timber frame dating from the 15th century, with flint external walls added in the 17th century. It has a thatched roof.[28]
House extension[edit]
This building was the rear extension of a house in Reigate, Surrey, added in the 17th century. It has two carved fireplaces and there are the remains of wall paintings. This building is not currently open to the public.[29]
Joinery shop[edit]
The joinery shop was originally built at Witley, Surrey, and dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. It houses an exhibition on building construction.[11]
Market Hall[edit]
The Market Hall
The Market Hall dates from the 17th century and was originally built at Titchfield, Hampshire. It has a lock-up on the ground floor and the first-floor room served as the town council chamber.[30] When the Market Hall was dismantled and re-erected at the Museum, it was the second time that had happened. The building had been moved from its original location in the centre of Titchfield to another site in the mid-19th century.[31]
Medieval house, North Cray[edit]
This medieval hall house was originally built at North Cray, Kent. It is timber-framed with a peg tile roof. The external timbers are painted red.[32]
Medieval house, Sole Street[edit]
This medieval hall house was originally built at Sole Street, Kent. It has a timber frame and peg tile roof. The building is used as a restaurant and tea room.[33]
Medieval shops[edit]
This building dates from the 15th century and houses a pair of shops. It was originally built at Horsham, Sussex. The three-storey building has jettied upper floors. It is timber-framed with a peg tile roof and peg tiles to the upper floors on at least one side. The upper floors serve as the Museum's library and are not normally open to the public.[34]
Open shed[edit]
The open shed dates from the 18th century. It was originally built at Charlwood, Surrey. It served as a cart shed and also a saw shed.[35] The shed was dismantled in 1999, the work being partly funded by the British Airports Authority. When it was reconstructed at the Museum in 2000, the horse whim from West Kingsdown, Kent, was installed.[36]
Pendean farmhouse[edit]
Pendean farmhouse
This hall house was originally built at West Lavington, West Sussex,[37] in 1609.[38] Instead of an open hall there is a central chimney with fireplaces on both ground and first floors. It retains some features from 16th-century practice, such as unglazed windows.[37] The building has a timber frame, with brick infill to the ground floor and wattle and daub infill to the first floor. It was re-erected at the Museum in 1975, but the discovery of a postcard of the building at its original site showed that the chimney had not been reconstructed correctly. The chimney was rebuilt in January 2001 to a more accurate profile.[38] The house is furnished in period style.[39]
Poplar cottage[edit]
Poplar Cottage
Poplar cottage is a small timber-framed, thatched building dating from the 17th century. It was originally built at Washington, Sussex.[40] The building dates from between 1550 and 1630. It was donated to the Museum in 1982 and carefully dismantled in that year. It was re-erected in 1999, the work being funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.[41]
Rebuilding
Work on re-erecting the building began on 10 April 1999, the timbers having been prepared over the previous winter.[42] The outside wall of the smoke bay was infilled with sandstone, whilst the rest of the building was infilled with wattle and daub. The roof was thatched.[43]
Plumber's workshop[edit]
The plumber's workshop dates from the late 19th century and was originally built at Newick, Sussex. The upper floor served as a glazier's workshop.[44]
Pugmill house[edit]
This brick- and stone-built building originally stood at Redford, Sussex. It housed a horse-powered pug mill, which was used to prepare clay for brickmaking.[45]
Saw-pit shed[edit]
This 19th-century shed was originally built at Sheffield Park, Sussex. It houses a range of tools used in the conversion of trees to finished timber.[46]
School[edit]
This building dates from the 19th century, and was used as a school for educating poor children in the early part of that century. It was originally built at West Wittering and is of brick and flint construction with a tiled roof.[47]
Stable[edit]
The stable dates from the mid-18th century and was originally built at Watersfield, Sussex. It is timber-framed, clad in weatherboarding and has a peg tile roof. The building can house up to five horses or oxen.[48]
Shelter shed[edit]
The open-fronted shelter shed was originally built at Coldwaltham, Hampshire.[49]
Smithy[edit]
The smithy was built in the mid-19th century. It was originally at Southwater, Sussex.[50]
Treadwheel[edit]
The treadwheel dates from the early 17th century. It was probably not worked by a horse due to its size. The treadwheel is housed in a small timber-framed building with a thatched roof and was originally built at Catherington, Hampshire.[51]
Toll cottage[edit]
The toll cottage is typical of those of the 18th and 19th centuries. It originally stood on a road built in 1807 at Beeding, Sussex. It has been set up with a recreated tollgate and milestone.[52]
Upper Hall[edit]
This building dates from the 15th century and has a long, open room on the first floor, which probably served as a communal meeting place. It was originally built at Crawley, Sussex,[53] behind Tree House—the old manor house of Crawley.[54] The building was threatened with demolition due to an extension to an office building. Of the original four bays, two complete bays remained, plus a third of another. The original building would have been some 36 feet (10.97 m) long. The original roof covering would have been Horsham Slab, which was replaced when the building was re-erected at the Museum.[55] Only the centre part of the present building is the original. The ends are modern reconstructions replicating contemporary practice. The building is used as the Museum's library and meeting place and is not normally open to the public.[53] The Worshipful Company of Drapers donated £5,000, which was used to part-fund the dismantling and re-erection of the building at the Museum.[56]
Wagon shed[edit]
The wagon shed dates from the 18th century. It was originally built at Wiston, Sussex.[57]
Watermill[edit]
For an explanation of the machinery, see Mill machinery.
The watermill dates from the early 17th century,[58] and was working until 1935.[59] It is in working order, and flour from the mill is sold in the Museum shop. The mill was originally built at Lurgashall, Sussex,[58] to serve Petworth House and Park. At one time it may have been used in the grinding of bark for use in the tanning process.[60] In 1968, the derelict mill was damaged by floods, causing the millstones to fall through the rotting floors.[61]
The mill was originally powered by a tributary of the River Rother. At one time the mill had two waterwheels, each working two pairs of millstones. The 12 feet (3.66 m) diameter overshot waterwheel, which was originally cast at Cocking Foundry for Coster's Mill, West Lavington, drives the two pairs of millstone, a sack hoist and flour dresser.[20] The machinery in the mill was installed in 1911.[62] The mill was donated to the Museum in 1973 and carefully dismantled,[59] at which time evidence was found of a previous use of the site as a Hammer mill.[63] Re-erection and restoration of the machinery took seven years.[59]

The windpump is a hollow post mill that was built in the mid-19th century. It was originally at Westham, Sussex (grid reference TQ 640 043)[65] and was marked on an 1860 map.[66] The windpump was re-erected at the Museum in 1975.[67]
Winkhurst kitchen[edit]
This 16th-century building was originally part of a larger building at Sundridge, Kent. It is timber-framed with a crown-post roof.[68] The building dates from between 1492 and 1537. It was the first building acquired by the Museum. Dismantled in 1968, it was re-erected at the Museum at a site that later proved to be unsuitable. Therefore, it was decided that the building should again be dismantled and re-erected at another site within the Museum, with modern extensions designed to allow the building to be better interpreted by visitors.[69] The building was dismantled in December 2001[70] and reconstructed for the second time between February and May 2002.[71] The interior of the building has been re-created as a working Tudor kitchen.
Awards[edit]
The museum won the National Heritage and Illustrated London News Museum of the Year Award in 1975.[72]

Premise of show[edit]
Grace Under Fire, produced by Carsey-Werner International, was part of a wave of shows in the late 1980s and 1990s that were built around a comedian (and in some cases, closely based on his or her comedy routine). As for Carsey-Werner, many of their shows were based on non-traditional, non-nuclear families.[2][3][4]
Grace Under Fire followed a similar formula; set in a small Missouri town,[5] Butler starred as Grace Kelly, a divorced single mother and recovering alcoholic. The show begins after the main character divorces her abusive alcoholic husband of eight years in an attempt to start life anew and prevent her children from making the same mistakes she did. The show revolved around Grace; her children, mischievous Quentin (Noah Segan, pilot; Jon Paul Steuer, seasons 1-3; Sam Horrigan, seasons 4-5), happy-go-lucky Libby (Kaitlin Cullum), and infant Patrick (Dylan and Cole Sprouse); her happily married best friends and neighbors, Nadine and Wade Swoboda (Julie White and Casey Sander); and the town's bachelor pharmacist, Russell Norton (Dave Thomas). All of them helped Grace keep whatever shreds of sanity she had left.
In the first three seasons, the show had a very blue-collar appeal due to Grace's chosen line of work, post-divorce; she operated pipelines at the local oil refinery, and had a second family of fellow crew workers down at the plant. Among them were heavy-set Dougie Boudreau (Walter Olkewicz), friendly Vic (Dave Florek), and Carl (Louis Mandylor). Their gruff boss was Bill Davis (Charles Hallahan). Both Bill and Carl were dropped after the first season; while Carl hadn't a permanent on-screen replacement, the crew's new boss was John Shirley (Paul Dooley) starting in the second season.
Russell's friendship with Grace, and their on-and-off dating rituals, became a running theme in the series. Throughout their friendship they often dated other people; for a time in 1994, Grace dated Ryan Sparks (William Fichtner), a quirky chemist who worked in the oil refinery's labs. In season three, Grace entered into a relationship with suave plant executive Rick Bradshaw (Alan Autry). As with Ryan, the affair between Grace and Rick occurred despite their radically different places in the company ladder. When the fourth season opened, Grace moved on from the oil refinery and took an entry-level position with an ad agency, working her way up to being a white-collar professional. That job only lasted a month, but she then took on similar business work for a construction company owned by D.C. (Don "D.C." Curry). In the final season, Russell found some romantic interest in Dottie (Lauren Tom), a gossiping makeup artist.
Throughout the entire five-year run, Grace's ex-husband Jimmy Kelly (Geoff Pierson) showed up, sometimes causing problems and at others miraculously clean and sober, trying to win Grace back. A reconciliation never quite happened, but the two did settle on a good friendship for the sake of the kids. In the midst of Jimmy's attempts to get straight, his father Emmett (guest star Matt Clark) died. In the aftermath of his death, it was revealed that Emmett was gay. At this time, Jimmy's mother Jean (Peggy Rea), Grace's disapproving and moralizing former mother-in-law, offered to move in and help Grace raise the kids (Rea had previously guest starred as Jean a few times since the series premiered). Russell eventually reconciled with his estranged dad, Floyd (Tom Poston), who ended up moving in with him and working with him in the pharmacy. As far as Grace's own kin and past life went, she had a regular source of support from her sister Faith (Valri Bromfield) in the first two seasons. Another development came when Grace was contacted by her first child, Matthew (guest star Tom Everett Scott), whom she gave up for adoption before meeting Jimmy. Matthew had questions about his ancestry and ended up meeting his biological father.
In early 1998, Grace's old friend Bev Henderson (Julia Duffy) came back to town and ended up moving in with the Kellys. In the intervening years, Bev had become quite successful and wealthy. She briefly moved in with Grace to get in touch with her working-class roots. Grace and Bev's personal reunion was unexpectedly the last major storyline of the series. Although she was joining the cast full-time, Duffy only appeared in two network-aired episodes of Grace Under Fire before the series was abruptly canceled in mid-February.

Awards and nominations[edit]
This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (May 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Grace Under Fire was nominated for three Golden Globe awards: Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series Comedy/Musical in 1995 and 1997 and Best TV Series Comedy/Musical in 1995.
Jean Stapleton was nominated for the 1995 Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy series Emmy Award for playing Aunt Vivian in the episode "The Road to Paris Texas." Diane Ladd was nominated for the same award the previous year for playing Louise Burdett in the episode entitled "Things Left Undone" written by Brett Butler and Wayne Lemon.
Controversy and cancellation[edit]
As the third season concluded in the spring of 1996, Jon Paul Steuer left the series. Sources have speculated that Steuer's mother pulled him out of the show after an incident with Butler, who allegedly flashed her breasts at the 12-year-old actor.[6] At the start of Season 4, Sam Horrigan became the third actor to play Quentin Kelly, and with him in the role, the character's age advanced to 16.
In the fourth and fifth seasons of the show, Butler was fighting a painkiller addiction, for which she eventually sought medical help. Cast member Julie White left the show after Season 4, also citing Butler's behavior as the reason.[7] The show, which had been a Top 20 series for its first three seasons, began to take a significant drop in the ratings during season four, from 13th place to 45th.[citation needed]
Butler's first round of treatment and rehab delayed the start of the 1997–98 season until November. After Grace Under Fire resumed production on season five, a newly clean Butler struggled to stay that way; the morale on the set was little better than in the previous season, due to the star's erratic behavior. Around the holidays, Butler relapsed again, and although the producers were as committed as ever to continuing the show, ABC was becoming concerned about Butler's overall health, and was less patient with her accelerated amount of missed tapings.
The show's ratings continued to fall dramatically, which may have well been attributed to Butler's reputation in the press, the longer-than-usual hiatus the series took between seasons four and five, and the fact that the character of Grace Kelly no longer went through the kinds of struggles that had made the show successful earlier on. The addition of Julia Duffy several episodes into the fifth season was a last-ditch attempt to improve the ratings, but with Butler in her current state, the network was not inspired to continue on. Rather abruptly, with the February 17, 1998 telecast, ABC canceled the series.[8][9] The three-month-long final season averaged at #68 in the 1997-98 Nielsen ratings.
Syndication[edit]
The series aired in syndication on the Oxygen Network in the United States, and TVtropolis in Canada. In the United Kingdom, the series was picked up by BBC2 where it aired from 1994 to 1999.[10] The show was added to Hulu on March 1, 2014. The series is currently running on the Laff digital broadcast network that went on the air on April 15, 2015.
Home video release[edit]
On May 4, 2015, it was announced that Visual Entertainment (VEI) had acquired the rights to the series in Region 1.[11]
It was subsequently announced that they will release Grace Under Fire: Complete Collection on DVD on October 6, 2015.[12][13]
International remakes[edit]
The show was remade in Russia as Lyuba, Children and the Factory in 2005.[14] A Polish adaptation, Hela w opałach (Hela Under Fire; Hela is short form from Helen), aired on TVN in September 2006.
Also there is another Russian adaptation as Ольга (Olga).[15] The show premiered on TNT on September 5, 2016.[16]
