Wow Victorians invented loads of things! The bicycle, the car, the telephone, the camera, the flushing toilet, electricity. That was only around 150 years ago. They also held the ‘GREAT EXHIBITION’ in 1851 which was to show off to the world all the great things we could do. This was attended by 6 million people and the profits funded The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. All the places…

Charles II was a welcome relief from Richard Cromwell but he had his own troubles, war, the plague and The great fire of London. He did love his dogs though and let us them have puppies in his bedroom and even shared the same hairstyle

The Black Death in 1348 killed between one third and half of the London population. The Plague came by ship on the  Ring a ring a rosesA pocket full of posesAttishoo

Remember remember the fifth of NovemberGunpowder, treason and plot.I see no reason why gunpowder, treasonShould ever be forgot…   Every year it seems like we are celebrating Guy Fawkes’ night but really it is a stern reminder of the historic night and the act of treason. James I wanted to make everyone Protestant. During his reign, in 1605, a group of Catholics decided to plan to get rid of the King and Parliament. They smuggled…

George III was often called ‘Mad George’ as he did have mental health problems a few times (and he did once spend a lot of time talking to a tree!), he had another nickname too though, he was very interested in farming and had model farms testing out different ideas. People called him ‘Farmer George’ this is quite funny because George means farmer in Greek so really he was already called farmer. A bit like calling him ‘Farmer…

Ever hear of the letter ‘thorne’? No? That’s in part due to Edward IV. When the printing press was introduced from Bruge in Brussels by William Caxton there was one letter it couldn’t produce. It made a sound similar to TH. The closest letter that looked like it was Y so this was used instead.

Bloody Mary. It was no wonder really that Mary I was bitter. Her father had turned his back on her and her mother and worst of all the Catholic Church. Mary was very religious and wanted to do everything she could to bring back the Catholic church. If this mean killing the people who were against it she would do it. There is evidence she ordered people to be burnt at the stake for their…

Queen Elizabeth II   Thousands of people bought their first tv sets for the coronation on June 2 in 1953 when Elizabeth was only 27. It is thought over half the population watched the coronation (27 million of a population of 36 million). It was the first major international event to be televised. George VI’s was televised but most people didn’t own a tv at that time. A new way of serving chicken was invented…

This was a ‘Great Charter’ that was signed (actually it was sealed as most Kings couldn’t write) by King John. He was forced to agree to it by the Barons to stop him abusing his power as King and take unfair taxes. It included lots of rules to give people rights to be treated fairly and the right to a fair trial. It was written on velum. There are four surviving copies of the Magna…
