Oakenclough Class enjoyed a trip to Leighton Hall

Oakenclough Class enjoyed a trip to Leighton Hall, a family owned house which dates back to before the Victorian period. We were fortunate enough to have a lovely guide, who told us all about the history of Leighton Hall and how it has been in the same family for 800 years.

 The children were shown various artefacts dating back to the Victorian era, they were even allowed to use a snuffer to put out candles.

The children were particularly interested to hear about the unusual meal which was enjoyed in the 19th Century; parrot pie. The children were keen to ask lots of interesting questions.
