Easter Weekend

On Good Friday after church we went on a walking tour around Cambridge. I saw the windows of the room in which William Wordsworth lived. I am learning his poem 'The Daffodils'.

 

We also saw a big metal map of Cambridge and lots other interesting things. I liked the ghost story that the tour guide told us when we were at the hotel called 'The Eagle'.

 

Then on Sunday we went to Wimpole Hall for an Easter egg trail. It was very fun. Here are some pictures.

...Lydia has already started hers!

On Monday we went to Long Melford and saw the village church and a house from the 1500s called Melford Hall.

We are looking at a times table on the wall of the Lady Chapel in the village church, which was used as a school for about 150 years.

On the way home we went to Bury St Edmunds and saw some ruins of an abbey. Here are some pictures:

Near the Abbey ruins there was a memorial to seventeen martyrs who Queen Mary had killed. There were lots more but these were the ones that had died here in Bury St Edmunds. They were just ordinary people who were killed for being Protestants.
