Kenilworth pupils take a step back in time

Pupils at a Kenilworth school have become time travellers, stepping back centuries to experience life as a Tudor.

Crackley Hall School’s Junior 5 left modern day Britain accompanied by staff and parents, all donned costumes, to enjoy a day exploring life in the 16th century.

The pupils began their day in the court of King Henry VIII in 1536 - Crackley’s great hall.

Students became members of the King’s household and tried their hands at typical Tudor professions and a range of crafts including alchemists, apothecaries, barbers, chandlers, leatherworkers, scholars (ink making and writing), scent bag and soap makers.
