Also near Lawrence's birthplace is the Eastwood Craft Centre. Green's innovations in mathematics are now used by scientists all over the world. The fascinating story of his life is told in the centre attached to the mill, which also celebrates the history of windmills and offers visitors the chance to operate a number of scientific experiments for themselves. The mill itself is fully operational, with a resident miller. The chief attraction of this centre is to see artists and craftsmen practising their particular skills.
Visitors can also buy the products of their labours.
Among the skills on show are sculpture, painting, stained-glass window making, jewellery making, silver working, pottery, antique restoring, wood turning, bookbinding and printing. The Village Craft Museum in which all these skills are exercised is in the form of a re-created 18th century village street. The museum also houses an extensive collection of old tools and equipment from many trades. The collection in this museum contains more than 1000 dolls, dolls' houses and other toys, together with children's clothing and baby wear, dating from the 19th century onwards. It is the private hoard of a collector, Vina Cooke.
