Experience a captivating journey into Tudor times at Bramhall Hall, led by Lily Upton-Bills. We learned to write using a scribe feather and explored the still room, crafting nosegays to ward off the plague. Fascinating remedies were revealed, including using lavender and goose fat. The day was filled with joy as we enjoyed a delightful lunch, attended a lively music session, and danced in the ball room. The stunning surroundings and engaging activities made for an unforgettable experience steeped in history.

BRAMHALL HALLBY Lily Upton-Bills Then we went to the scribe room to learn how to write like Tudors. We had to get a scribe feather witch was a goose feather with a slit on the end to put ink inside. We wrote our names and the date witch was 1599. Later we were led to the still room to see Meg. In the still room we made nosegays they kept away the plague .Meg told us that if you had toothache you had to heat up a nail and then fill it with goose fat paste. Did you know that you had to make a lavender press to ease an ache and how you need to make a hot water bottle!

After that...LUNCH!!!!! the moment we had all been waiting for first we sat down whilst master Geoffrey chose 2 mistress's and 2 masters to sit at the high table. we had our lunch it was great!! Almost last we had a look around and in the music room Aneya played the crum horn really loud and all you could hear was BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we did ball room dancing and we saw mistress’s Dorothy's room her bed was tiny because she thought that the angel of death would come and take her sole because she would appear dead when she was lying down. We saw a grand beautiful cloth that you would put over a table.
