•   1876 Victorian England Revisited » awarded 2006-06-06

What an exciting adventure we had on this journey back in time to 1876. We were shown how a middle-class Victorian family lived; how they decorated their homes, entertained and played. We were invited to go shopping and to learn about the “proper Victorian way” and, as a special treat, we had the opportunity to spend a traditional Victorian Christmas with our Hosts. The Victorians took the rules of propriety very seriously - it was who they were; if one did not conform, one was considered an outcast in “proper” society. Many of the family traditions described, especially those over the Christmas period, exist today and it was a good feeling to know that although we have all advanced into an entirely new age, we carry with us some of the best family values of the past. A brilliant, invigorating historical educational resource web site composed in a style that is refreshing and easy to read, making for a site visit that one just should not miss.
