Lady Waterford Hall is an ideal venue to give your children a taste of Victorian school life too! Victorian books, games and slates are all available in the stunning context of the original schoolroom at Ford.
The Hall presents a fantastic opportunity for students of all ages to gain an insight into the contrast between life in the past and the present, in a real village setting. With its stunning murals and wonderful 19th century paintings and sketches Lady Waterford Hall is the perfect venue to study a whole range of subjects such as Religious Education, Art, Creative Writing, Victorian History, Genealogy and much more.
You could consider including a visit to the historic Heatherslaw Mill or a trip on the steam railway, both of which link in with the Victorian theme at Lady Waterford Hall, or simply explore the village with the help of the Hall's "Footsteps round Ford" leaflet and discover its history. Visits can be tailored to meet your requirements, whether on a single subject or cross curricular, and teachers are invited to make a free visit prior to bringing their group.
