The Bakewell Old House Museum II

I'm sharing this post as Ruby Tuesday and My world Tuesday entry. As I've promised, this is the continuation of my post last week about The Bakewell Old House Museum which we visited on our honeymoon in Derbyshire. Now you'll get to know the rest of the old house museum characters during the Tudor period in Derbyshire, England.

In 1777 Richard Arkwright, the founder of the factory system, built his third cotton mill at Bakewell and divided this house into 5 cottages for workers at the mill.

This is what the farmers used to wear on their wedding during Tudor period 

This two buckets the lady carries in her shoulder was used to collect milk to make cheese during Tudor period

This is the equipment used in washing clothes during Tudor period

And what my hunny is holding is the machine used to dry the clothes 

And this is the head mistress 

And this is the most popular history, the discovery of Bakewell pudding. We bought one and was so yummy!

There you go, that's a bit of history of English life during Tudor period. Hope you enjoy the tour! Back to Chatsworth House, what's inside it?That's my next entry all about. So please come and visit me again..Have a good day!  

The Canterbury Cathedral

Last Saturday I was visited by my brother in law's brother (Fr. Monet) who was on his holiday here in England. It was great to see someone from the Philippines and converse in my language again. Though they ddin't stay that long here in Canterbury, we managed to let them see a bit of the city. And since father Monet is a priest, he was keen to visit the famous Canterbury cathedral. I haven't been in there since I came here so last Saturday I had the chance to get in the cathedral and see the beauty of it in my own eyes w/out paying £8.hehe..And today I am going sharing it to you.

    This is the front are of the cathedral, the entrance bit after you pay.

And this is the front side view, the entrace to get in the cathedral.

And this is the sculptures and carvings above the entrance door as you can see in the photo above. Very fantastic and perfect work of art.

And this is the inside where you can worship and attend service. And straight that way is where the actual service is held and more to see with your £8.

Closer look of the magnificent ceilings and post.

This is the ceiling of the hallway of that photo above. With England flag designs, and looks like a little shield to me as well.Lovely isn't it? I'll show you more of the inside bits of the cathedral next week. Hope you enjoy the tour!
