Using extensively researched local events and people the villagers link their families and their lives to national and international events.
During your walking tour you will meet "villagers", interpreters dressed in historic period costume. Little Woodham's living history interpreters involve you and your children in their daily lives. Prepare timber with the sawyers at their camp, or speak with villagers as they make lace, or card and spin wool. Those visitors with "good and lawful money of England" may enter Little Woodham's ale-house, there to join in conversation with whomever they may find within.
The 1642 Living History Village is widely used by schools as a significant additional teaching resource for the study of History and other cross curriculum areas.
