Little Woodham
Little Woodham, also known as "The Living History Village of Little Woodham" or "The Seventeenth Century Village", is a living museum dedicated to recreating life in a rural village in the mid-17th century. It is situated in ancient woodland in Rowner, on the Gosport peninsula, Hampshire.
History
The hamlet of Little Woodham was initially created in 1984 as a temporary reenactment of village life on the eve of the English Civil War by members of The English Civil War Society as part of their enactment of the fictional Battle Of Stokes Bay. Following this, Society volunteers continued the exhibition during the summers of 1984 and 1985.
When the English Civil War Society announced they would be unable to continue, local residents formed the Gosport Living History Society to take over the running of the village to preserve it as an educational resource and tourist attraction. The Gosport Borough Council provided much of the financing and administration until 1995 when the Gosport Living History Society became a registered charity and took on sole responsibility for funding and administration.

Where you been hiding?
Adam, Adam
It's time we had a talk
What's going on in the room downstairs?
What you been playing with down there?
Adam, Adam
Things are getting strange
Adam, Adam
Who you been following?
Adam, Adam
Am I getting through?
Don't you think you've reached the point of having
enough?
Your very own mother starts coughing you up
Adam, Adam
I thought you were smart
What you're looking for is right before your eyes
But you're too caught up to notice all of the signs
Hello, hello, are you listening?
Hello, hello, are you there?
You've tuned the voices out but now the symptoms are
everywhere
You are, you are, you are part of this
I know you think you're much more
You better think again
Because you're one defenceless animal
Adam, Adam
I think you got a fever
Adam, Adam
You're making no sense
All the pictures in the magazines have gone to your
head
You're chasing paper dolls to catch your tail instead
Adam, Adam
Are you ready to run?
What you started with to save yourself some time
Has got out of hand and made you out of your mind
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Little Adam
