John Weston Jesson (1865-1932) followed his father as a grazier rearing cattle, sheep and pigs. In 1894 he had a slaughterhouse and shop built for £22 19s 4d in Gumley's Main Street and branched out as a butcher. In 1910 the business closed down.

The shop was re-opened virtually untouched many years later by his granddaughter Betty and her husband Geoff as a museum.

The museum was finally closed and the contents sold by auction after Geoff's death in 1990.
