From Tump Lane. Violette Szabó GC, née Bushell, (1921–1945), a British subject, was the daughter of an English father and French mother, and widow of a French army officer of Hungarian descent. Fluent in French, she was a British secret agent who went on two missions to occupied France. On her second mission she was captured by the Germans, and deported to Germany where she was eventually executed at Ravensbrück concentration camp. She was posthumously awarded the George Cross,
the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille de la Resistance. Her wartime activities in occupied France were dramatised in the film Carve Her Name with Pride, starring Virginia McKenna, based on the 1956 book of the same name by R.J. Minney.

The museum is in the cottage Violette's cousins used to own. She was a visitor here on more than one occasion before the war.
