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 nineteenth 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]

The windpump is a hollow post mill that was built in the mid-nineteenth 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]
