Tudor Farmhouse Day in Bayleaf

A Tudor housewife had to do more than just cook! This day will be based in Bayleaf farmhouse and concentrate on tasks outside of the detached kitchen - spring cleaning, laundry, the garden, fibre preparation and spinning, simple sewing techniques of the period, medical treatments available to a yeoman family. Lesley Parker has a BA (Hons) in history and has taught history and been involved in museum education in Sussex for the last 15 years. She currently works at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum interpreting the social history of the buildings for museum visitors.
