Lanhydrock brings history alive for Year 5

Published: 08 November, 2010

As part of their history studies about the Victorians, Year 5 paid a visit to Lanhydrock House in Cornwall. The children were divided into three groups and got to dress up in a range of Victorian costumes. 

The first group learned about being a servant in Victorian times and looked at the vast kitchens.  The second group experienced being a child in Victorian times by exploring the nursery and playing with some of the toys. The third group found out all about the family who lived at Lanhydrock, the Agar-Robarts.  The children were fascinated to hear about the lavish lives they led.
