We offer seasonally-appropriate Tudor rural living activities here on the farm. Days are spent doing what Tudor peasants did on farms in the late 1500s - managing the pigs and chickens, processing game, making pomanders, celebrating festivals such as Decorating the Plough or Wassailing, and feasting on food of the era. Students can learn to field walk or metal detect, identify and classify their archaeological finds, learn how to date hedges, ponds and buildings.
