For Mother’s Day we are sharing a Tudor tradition that you can create at home

Our lovely volunteer Jan will guide you step by step through the simple processes of making a tussie mussie – a pretty knot of flowers that in Tudor times would also be sought for its fragrance.

Join us for an online Tudor craft filmed outside the Schoolroom. Before you start there are just a few things to prepare.
