National Trust - Killerton 'The Laundry Week'
National Trust, Killerton House, Killerton, Exeter, Devon, EX5 3LE
Follow Queenie through her daily tasks and get a feel for the working conditions in a laundry from the early 20th century. Experience the processes and equipment that was state of the art at the time yet a world away from the modern appliances we rely on today.
There will be interactive activities, traditional garments, historic equipment, and written story-telling for you to explore.
This event was created in collaboration with leading family history website Findmypast, sponsors of ‘Everyday Histories’, the festival theme.
