Yesterrday we enjoyed a fantastic trip to Ordsall Hall, an old Tudor mansion in Salford. We went back in time to find out all sorts of things about life in Tudor times.
First we learnt how different people- Lords, ladies, merchants, farmers and servants- were treated differently at a feast. The place they sat, what they ate and drank from and the things they actually had to eat depended on their position in society.
Next we were taken by a servant to find out about a Tudor kitchen and learn about life as a servant. The lady of the house showed us the chambers and talked about the beds, bath and life as a rich Tudor.
Finally we dressed up in Tudor outfits and performed the 'rat dance'.
