STEP back to Elizabethan times at Stretton Watermill this weekend.

The watermill near Farndon hosts a free Tudor festival from noon-5pm on both days.

Visitors will be shown how to grind corn in the working watermill by costumed Tudor millers.

There will be games, plays and stories for children, displays of Tudor food and a herbalist will prepare treatments for ailments including plague.

A sergeant of the local militia will be seeking recruits to put through a sword drill.

Richard and Elizabeth York will entertain on a wide range of period instruments, from English bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy to the more refined melodies of harps and recorders.
