Victorians trip to Dunham Massey
We visited Dunham Massey to find out more about what life was life for Lord Stamford, his family and the servants that looked after them and the house.
We learnt about the jobs of a laundry maid, a footman, a housemaid and a kitchen maid. Making jam tarts, polishing silver, washing cloths with a dolly and pretending to clean out the chamber pots were the highlights!
We then had an opportunity to look into the archives and find information from copies of the census from 1851.
In the afternoon we were part of a trial for a man who was accused of poaching.
Everyone had a great day and we learnt a LOT!
