Description
A unique pattern woven in the
fabric of time. Within the Parish of Rowner, surrounded by
woodland, the village of Little Woodham exists to educate both
children and adults about 17th Century rural life in the South
of England.
In the April of 1642 the King of England, Charles Stuart and his
Parliament stood on the eve of Civil War. The momentous events
of that year unfold as the autumn approaches. Using extensively
researched local events and people the villagers link their
families and their lives to national and international events.
During your tour you will meet "villagers", interpreters dressed
in period costume. Little Woodham's living history interpreters
involve you and your children in their daily lives. Prepare
timber with the sawyers at their camp, or speak with villagers
as they make lace, or card and spin wool, watch the Blacksmith
as he beats hot iron into shape. Those visitors with "good and
lawful money of England" may enter Little Woodham's ale-house,
there to join in conversation with whoever they may find within. |
