The Pilcher Aviation Museum is in the Stable Block. Its principal exhibit is a very fine replica of ‘The Hawk’, the Flying Machine in which Lieutenant Percy Pilcher, recognised as England’s Pioneer Aviator, was killed at Stanford in 1899. He flew successfully for four years before his death. The Hawk was his latest machine.
A monument to his memory was erected by the Royal Aeronautical Society on the other side of the river from the house, on the spot where he crashed.
