Roman camp at Wallington

Every time I set off to Wallington Hall I step into a Tardis and arrive at some other time in history! This week it was Roman times, last week Medieval with knights in shining armour and previous weeks Pre-War times, when decorating the doll's house.

Today I've been volunteering in the yurt again, this time children could make Roman-style mosaics. In the main courtyard families could help re build a mini Roman Wall or go on a Latin Trail around the grounds. Plus, Romans were camping out in tents - showing visiting families their weapons, medical instruments, cooking utensils and pots.
