Visiting with Children

A local history educational resource

 

We are working on making the Heritage Centre appealing to children!

New touch screens encourage easy access to information which, for the moment, focuses on geology (William Smith), Indian history and governance (Warren Hastings) and patronage (James Langston, squire of Churchill). 

Other resources are relevant to Victorian studies.

A 2011-2012 special exhibition features evacuees to the village and we have recorded the memories of people who were evacuated here as children.

 

We can supply resources and visit schools to give talks on a selection of subjects, all of which are designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum – not only History, but also Art, Geography, Geology, and Investigation Skills. 

Do contact us for further details.
The Centre is small and can only accommodate limited size groups at one time, but we are very happy to arrange visits that are tailored to your needs.

In May 2010, the Centre was awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant which is enabling the development of a two year education outreach programme. We have plans to include talks, visits and workshops for disability and special needs groups.
