Year 5 children from Spalding’s Ayscoughfee Hall School visited Burghley House in Stamford to experience a Tudor Christmas.

Their exciting day began when they met Henry VIII and ended with a chilling ghost story in a candlelit room.

They learnt about Tudor customs in the Great Hall and the children played traditional games and dazzled with their Tudor dancing.

Headteacher Clare Ogden said: “The children looked amazing in their costumes, especially in the setting of a real Tudor house.

“It was a thoroughly enjoyable day which brought their history topic to life.”
