Meet Mr Mackett, the School Master in the local Village School during the Victorian Period. He is the only teacher employed there and teaches all subjects to all the village children, regardless of their age. He is a strict disciplinarian and expects good behaviour at all times! Discover the harshness of school life, writing on slates, reciting 'times-tables', honouring the Queen, and the strong belief in the justness of Empire.
Performances at 11am, 12,30 and 2pm, included with normal museum admission.
