Sudbury Hall

Helen Couch, Craighead's first Gapper in 1994/95 came down from Huddersfield with her husband, Howard and her two children, Ben(10) and Mabel(6) and we went to Sudbury Hall and its Museum of Childhood. Sudbury Hall is another National Trust property and is a grand 17th century mansion. The children had great fun in the museum, which had interactive activities. We three girls experienced a Victorian schoolroom with old- fashioned low desks joined together and a very bossy teacher, who kept picking on me and made me cry!! The children also had a go at being chimney sweeps. It was a really lovely autumn day and again the autumn colours were lovely.
