EDUCATION
Learning from the past – hands on
Ford Green Hall is more than a museum — it’s a living classroom.
Built in 1624, this authentic Jacobean farmhouse brings the world of the early 17th century vividly to life. From the kitchen hearth to the herb garden, pupils discover how people worked, cooked, studied and cared for one another just after the Tudor age.
