At Bramhall Hall we experienced life as Tudors.  It was all just one big play set in 1599 and we were part of it too.  I actually thought that they weren’t going to let us into Bramall Hall, but that was just part of the story.
 
We made nose-gays; a sweet-smelling bag of rose petals, lavender and a clove.  Nose-gays were needed to disguise the disgusting smells of the time – people did not wash their clothes or bathe very often. Tudors also thought that nose-gays protected them from diseases like the plague.
 
Our Bramall Hall trip was really fun and interesting.  It was hilarious having the teachers and parents as our servants!  I really enjoyed travelling back through history to experience life as a Tudor. by Ziva, Y4 pupil.
