Acton Scott Historic Working Museum was very fun. I saw lots of Victorian animals and how they used to work in Victorian times! My favourite bit was when we got to stroke a Shire horse called Clumper. Later on we saw Clumper working in the field! Acton Scott was named after the Acton family, who live in Acton Hall. The family has lived there for 700 years! We also found out that Acton Hall is the oldest brick building in Shropshire. There also was a program about it not so long ago! We had a tour and we got to grind corn for the chickens to feed on. This was called “Kibbling”. It was very hard work and certainly not as easy as it looked! In the picnic area sheep where free and the turkeys where very big! After that we watched a Dairy maid making butter in a butter churn. After that we headed to the gift shop I brought a toy rabbit a postcard and a plant of parsley. Then we went home on the bus!
