Rosedene Guided Tours

Rosedene, Victoria Road, Dodford, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61 9BU

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Join a guided tour of Rosedene, a mid 19th-century Chartist cottage in Worcestershire. We're thrilled to be opening up the cottage to visitors a special opening as part of Heritage Open Days.

Born out of social injustice, Rosedene is a peaceful symbol of working class political and social aspirations. The cottage and its four-acre plot are the only surviving example of the Chartist dream of land ownership and therefore the vote for men.

Discover the history of Rosedene and the stories of the people that lived there on a tour with a knowledgeable guide. Tours last for one hour and take visitors around the cottage, followed by a gentle stroll around the garden and orchard with one of Rosedene's gardeners.
