The Ancient House Museum

Just down the road from the fire station in Thetford is The Ancient House Museum. This is where we went to next!





We met a lady called Karen in the museum. She told us some information about the museum. 


What were these things used for in Tudor times?






This is a model of the ancient house! What does ancient mean?


This fireplace is big enough to stand in!


Karen showed us how the beams used to build the house were made:


Before it was time to go we had some time to explore some of the different rooms:




Mrs Taylor is looking to see if she can see any water in the well below the glass cover:





Did you spot where this funny symbol was? What room was it in?


What a fantastic time we all had...two trips in one day!

The Great Fire of Banham

On Monday Mrs Taylor and the Wrens reenacted The Great Fire of London!

Look at what we did to our 1666 model houses:
















 
Our houses burned to down the ground just like those in Pudding Lane, London in 1666.
 
In the words of the Wrens: "What a fabulous, amazing and horrifying way to end to finish off the topic!!!"
