Little Woodham is a re-creation of how an English village
looked in the mid 17th century. The village consists of more than
a dozen natural buildings ranging from a fisherman's shelter to an Ale
House and a Blacksmith's forge to an Apothecary's shop. On its
open days local volunteers dress in period costume and live out
life as it was then, tending herbs and vegetables in the cottage
gardens and practising a wide variety of period crafts including
wood crafts, lace-making, wool carding and spinning, cooking,
medicine preparation, butter making
and maypole dancing (see video right). |
