Kentwell has some 60 varieties of Apple in its Walled Garden (plus other varieties elsewhere). It also has a similar quantity of Pears - this is a greater number than will be found in most Historic Gardens or even in Botanical Gardens.
A few weekdays in late September.
Kentwell's Re-Creations are unique. They have been visited, and enjoyed, by more than half a million schoolchildren since the re-C reations started in 1978. Visiting a Re-Creation is probably the best educational experience that Kentwell can offer.
However, a Re-Creation is not the only way to visit Kentwell. Schools can also opt for a Schools Guided Tour or a Farm Visit. All these options are briefly explained below.
Kentwell 'ticks' many 'boxes' in the National Curriculum; far beyond the most obvious ones relating to History. Why ? Because Kentwell's unique Re-Creations show how a wide cross section of people lived, worked and played in Tudor times. This necessarily illustrates in very practical ways the underlying message of teaching in many subjects.
There's so much that can be learnt in a visit to Kentwell. Here are just a few brief notes on some topics.

The Feast of St Michael and All Angels falls on 29 September. Because if occurs near the equinox in England, it marked the ending and the beginning of the husbandman's year.
