Tudor Tales are Historical Interpreters of the Henrician
period. I am a historian and historical re- enactor, I also have a medical
background with qualifications in aromatherapy and alternative and natural
therapies.
I have several years experience working with children in local schools and at
the Weald and Downland Museum, The Mary Rose Museum amongst others.
My partner is a costumed interpreter and Tudor cook with extensive knowledge
in the period and clothing. Our clothes are historically accurate in design and
construction, with great attention to detail. We have presented at various historical
events and shows, schools and societies such as the Women's Institute and the
Wey Valley Lacemakers. Tudor Tales are happy to inspire adults as well as children,
to the delights of our past.
The children’s school workshops are an introduction to the Tudor period
and are designed to inspire the imagination using food, replica equipment and
clothes. The historical facts used give a useful starting point to aid further
study and appreciation. The classes are designed to be interactive and the children
are encouraged to smell, touch and sample food items and to make something simple
on the other courses.
