Higham Ferrers Tourism, Business and Community Partnership

Higham Ferrers Junior School pupils had a wonderful time visiting Chichele College as part of the living history of Higham Ferrers. They were all given an opportunity to:

• sketch in the medieval gardens
• use a quill and ink to write with
• watch the Higham Ferrers Charter video
• take a History quiz
• look at artefacts and try on helmets from WW2
• plant bulbs (yellow and red for Henry Chichele's colours).

Some comments from pupils during the week:

• Jenna, "The garden was really cool seeing all the old things."
• Isabelle, "I loved trying on the hats and sketching the big gate."
• Lucy, "The film was very creative."
• "The garden was nice and peaceful." Rachel.
• Katie, "I liked planting the flower bulbs, it was a bit dirty but fun."
