Description of the tour
The tour starts with a brief power point presentation of Rev Ted and his friends and a very short introduction to five different places in the Abbey. The children then go and visit these 5 places where they find one of Rev Ted's friends. There are questions for them to answer and things for them to find at each location. The tour is meant to be as hands on as is practical!
After the tour the children are offered a drink and a biscuit. They can then proceed to further activities if time permits.

Timing: About 1 hour 45minutes in total

Cost: £1 per child

Further activities include:- making a family shield using brass rubbing.
