A Visit to Eastbury Manor by Year 3

October 14, 2011
We went to Eastbury Manor to learn about the Tudors. We went by train and then we walked the rest of the way to the house. When we turned a corner suddenly we saw the house and it looked huge. Two ladies came out and introduced themselves as Pat and Barbara. They were dressed in Tudor clothes. We looked for herbs in the back garden. One of the herbs was mint. We rubbed the leaves and smelt our fingers, if they smelt of something then that plant was a herb. In the other garden we sketched a picture of the house. We walked around the outside of the house looking for chimneys, there were 16 but 1 was fake. Two children got dressed in Tudor clothes and we found out that girls didn't wear any pants! We also found out that the servants were mostly boys and they got paid 4 pennies a day. We had a great time at Eastbury Manor and learn a lot about the Tudors.
