Enquire about our Discover Boxes
Discover the Tudor stories hidden in the very landscape of Beaulieu Park with our Tudor Life Discover Box. Rooted in the history of Beaulieu Palace—Henry VIII’s grand “Beautiful Place,” later home to Princess Mary—this box connects pupils directly to Chelmsford’s past. Through handling real and replica artefacts such as trenchers, tygs, hornbooks, thimbles and the Great Seal, learners investigate how royals and servants lived at the palace. The detective activities bring local heritage to life, inspiring pride in the remarkable Tudor history on their doorstep and deepening pupils’ sense of place, identity and community.
