Since arriving in Lower IV in September, the children have spent their history lessons learning about the Tudor period of British history. To help bring this to life, the children spent a wonderful morning at Shibden Hall. Here are some photographs which show just how fantastic the trip was!

The excited children arrive at the wonderful location.

Is there anybody home?

Master Robert welcomes the children into his home before introducing his wife, Mistress Jane. The table in the main hall cost a penny in Tudor times, but is now worth a cool £250,000!

Mistress Jane shows the children how to create a Tussy Mussy, to ward off the plague and other nasty illnesses.

Failing the tussy mussy, the plague doctor could always be called for!

The children were able to examine all manner of Tudor artefacts, including the most amusing chamber pot…
And after thanking Master Robert and Mistress Jane for their hospitality, the children returned to the 21st century, full of excitement and knowledge from their morning in Tudor England.
