Compare these households with that at Warter Priory (see page 4) and that in your own home. Consider the places of birth and the size of the families. What do the places of birth tell us about how far people moved in the past? From what you have learnt about the village in 1901 write a short story based on a day in the life of one of the children listed above. Use information from other Units.
