Photos <\/strong>taken in Ludlow & during our Christmas visit to nearby Berrington Hall,\u00a0which is one of many historic buildings preserved by the\u00a0National Trust<\/a>. These buildings used to be the great houses of aristocrats and wealthy industrialists whose every need was taken care of by huge teams of servants. Today, everyone can visit National Trust properties and experience life as a Queen\/King for a day.

The only thing missing is the servants, which means that these days we get to spend Christmas at home with our families!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, do not fear! Servants will be back in time for Summer School 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
