• Stonyhurst Sherlock Holmes Tour

  Fri 25 Mar 2016
  The junior children were invited by a school Governor, to visit Stonyhurst College for a Sherlock Holmes guided tour.  At the beginning of the tour, children were told the history of Stonyhurst itself and they were particulary interested in the history of the hiding places for priests, within the building, during the reign of King Henry VIII.  Children were lucky enough to be shown many historical features of the building, including the archives and manuscripts.  During the second half of the tour, it was explained how Sherlock Holme’s author – Arthur Doyle – was educated at Stonyhurst and how parts of the writing within one of his famous stories, (the Hound of the Baskervilles) is linked to the college itself!

  

• Dewlay Cheese Factory Visit

  Thu 17 Mar 2016
  Children had a wonderful time at the Dewlay Cheese Factory in Garstang.  There they learnt how to make cheese (the different processes) and they even helped make a small quantity.  From the viewing gallery, children watched employees making cheese in the factory itself.  They saw a Kosher Representative from the Jewish Community overseeing production of Kosher cheese.  Before the end of the visit, children tasted different cheeses which included Lancashire, Cheddar and Red Leicester cheese.
