Pupil looking through the wall at the 1620s House

The children will meet Lady Mary Digby, one of the past owners of the 1620s House, who will tell them about her husband’s role in the Gunpowder Plot. Through drama and role play, the children will learn about the plot was and why it came about. They will also explore discrimination in the 1600s and why it motivated the plotters to do what they did. The children will also have an opportunity to make a peg doll of Guy Fawkes to take back to the classroom with them.
