Building using wychert and grumplings used to be common in the Haddenham area but there are no further known 'pans' of wychert clay left so this technique is at risk. Homeowners of traditionally built cottages may no longer have the knowledge of how to care for their buildings and this local heritage may dye out.

By reconstructing Haddenham Cottage with clear interpretation of how the building was made, homeowners can refer to this project to inform them how to care for their own traditionally built wychert buildings. The technique of wychert building will be saved for posterity and museum visitors will enjoy visiting the Cottage.
