Year 4 pupils from Oswestry School Bellan House enjoyed a taste of Tudor life at Chirk Castle.

Dressed in authentic costume, members of the National Trust Education Team gave the children a fascinating experience of life in Tudor times, based on the history of the Myddelton family who bought the castle in 1595.

“It was an excellent day,” said Mrs Jackie Greatorex, the Headmistress of Bellan House. “The pupils all enjoyed their visit and were helped to understand what it was like to live in the sixteenth century, as well as learning more about our local history.”
