The pupils of the senior class at Ashton-under-Hill Primary School reconstruct life in Elizabethan times - constructing wattle-and-daub walls, weaving rush mats, cooking Elizabethan dishes, playing Tudor music, writing with quill pens, writing and giving their own interpretation of witches’ spells, and collecting herbs.
