Learning
Learning life as a kitchen servant
The Elizabethan House was built in about 1596 and remained a family home until 1949. The house therefore provides the ideal setting for schools to meet costumed characters and learn about history.
Learning programmes include:
- Homes long ago
- Toys from the past
- Life as a Victorian servant
In these hands-on sessions pupils can roll up their sleeves and help with the washing and cleaning. They can play with old toys to find out how they worked or meet our strict Victorian school master to learn the ‘3 Rs’ - reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Making Tudor history fun
With its Tudor origins the house lends itself to participating in merriment, Tudor style. School groups are invited to help historical characters as they prepare for a celebratory feast. Pupils might even come across a Tudor beggar as they're getting ready.
