Hereford Cathedral Junior School – Step back in time at the Old House

13 Jun 2017

Hereford Cathedral Junior School Year 4 pupils went to the Old House in the centre of Hereford as part of their humanities studies into life in Tudor times. They looked at a fabulous model of what Hereford would have looked like 400 years ago and used a mortar and pestle to crush medicinal herbs.

A lesson in Tudor table manners followed, as well as an opportunity to dress in period costume. On the top floor there was a room where pupils were able to play with some toys and lie down in a bed, as well as receive expert instruction from Miss Jeynes in how to swaddle a baby.
