About the project

Living History

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Grayhill Conservation & Interpretation Group has been re-creating a 16th Century village since 1987. Much of the work has been done by volunteers both international and from the UK. Education work is done through Living History Weeks with visitors and schools joining the site.

💼 What the programme involves

The first two weeks will be preparing the site for the Living History Week. This will be mostly working on gardens and paths with some constructin of farm shelters and drystone walls. The last week of the camp the site will be holding its annual Living History display for schools. Around 40 volunteers in period costume will demostrate life in the countryside of this region in 1599. A variety of skills from dyeing to cooking, haymaking to charcoal burning will be shown. Volunteeers taking part in this week will be supplied with period costumes and work with the experts on one of the activities.
