 Regarded by many as Stafford's most famous historic export (he lived most of his life in London). Born in 1594, Izaak Walton wrote a famous and popular fishing book ('The Compleat Angler').

 He bought this house in 1654 as part of an estate and bequeathed it to a local charitable trust upon his death in 1683

 The cottage is a typical 16/17th century Staffordshire home, it was occupied by residents until the early 1920's.

 The house is now a dedicated Izaak Walton museum, containing many historical exhibits and you can even view a video romp through Izaak's past.
