J4 spent an exciting morning in Gloucester Cathedral learning about the history of the monastery, why the monks had to leave in Tudor times and why the Cathedral survived Henry V111’s destruction of churches. The children dressed as monks and sang in Latin and also had an opportunity to write with a quill pen and make brass rubbings. In the afternoon, we crossed the road to the Folk Museum where there was an opportunity to dress in Tudor costume and study artefacts.
