by A Haywood

During our Eisteddfod week, children in Year 1 and 2 took part in a workshop led by the Newport Medieval Ship Project. They had lots of fun learning about life in a medieval castle.

coin striking 

 Lady Worthalot lived in Newport Castle 500 years ago. She was very upset when she saw what Newport Castle looked like today.

 

 Lady Worthalot showed us lots of pictures of her home. She explained what all the different pasrt of the castle were for, and who lived in them.

 

Lady Worthalot was very rich because she had her own coin striker. He showed us how to make money!

Some of Lady Worthalot's food is the same as our food today. We can tell that she is rich because she can afford to eat chicken. 

 

 

Rosemary was used to make the food taste nice. We thought it smelt unusual!


 

Lots of other herbs were put into their food too....like mint and thyme.
