0:03:08 > 0:03:11Hello, Mr Bloom. Welcome to Smithills Hall.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, thank you very much.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm looking for Flynn and Ben. Have you seen them?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- I think you might find them in the library.- Ah, fantastic.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Hey! Hello there, Ben! Hello, Flynn! - Hello, Mr Bloom!- Ha-ha!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31It's nice to meet you here today. And, er, look at this library.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- It's a bit special, isn't it? - Yeah, it's from the Victorian times.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Oh, well, that's a long time ago to you and me, eh?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Would you like a tour of the house?
0:03:40 > 0:03:45You bet your welly boots I would! Come on, then, you lead the way.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Hey, tiddlers, I wonder what's up there.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh, that leads to the bedrooms.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01We don't go up there.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04All right. Let's go.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Ooh.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Hello there.- Hello.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11You're strangely dressed.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14You must be servants. Be off with you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16THEY CHUCKLE
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Oh! She looked like a Victorian lady!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28This is one of the rooms that was added in Victorian times.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Oh, is that so?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Eh, it's a bit fancy in here, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37What do you reckon of the teapots? Fancy a cup of tea from them?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39No, they might be a bit too old for us.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Pine cones in the fireplace! - Imagine that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Must be a pine fire.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- You reckon?- Probably.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Let's keep going.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53'The Victorian rooms were added on to an older building,
0:04:53 > 0:04:59'and some parts of Smithills Hall are almost 700 years old.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01'Flynn and Ben took me to see them,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'and to meet two of their friends from school.'
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Wow, look at this room!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's like it's been wallpapered in wood.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, it's from Tudor times.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Yeah, that's older than the Victorian rooms.- Eh, is that so?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- And who've we got here? - My name is Freya.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And I'm Marienne, and this is Jackie.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Well, it's nice to meet you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And, er, Jackie, I'm sure we've met before.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Erm, weren't you dressed in the Victorian costume in the other room?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yes, that's right, I was.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Ha-ha! So, what are you up to?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, we've been making our own shields.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Ooh, they're pretty good, aren't they?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yeah, they're like these coats of arms.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45These coats of arms are a bit like name badges
0:05:45 > 0:05:47for the people that used to live here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51And I was reading about one person that visited this house once.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54He was a bit special, he was called George Marsh.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57We've heard of him! We can show you his footprint.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Right, let's go. We'll see you later.- Bye!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04'George Marsh was a Bolton farmer
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'who came to the hall over 500 years ago.'
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Eh up, tiddlers. What's this here?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's George Marsh's footprint.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17This only covers it. Inside, you can see the actual real thing.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Right, well, let's have a look.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22He was accused of making a crime,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25he stamped his foot down so hard when he said he was innocent.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Really? Wow, well, look at that there.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- He must have stamped his foot very hard, don't you think, Flynn?- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- Yeah. Do you reckon you could leave a footprint like that?- No.- No, no.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Well, let's carry on with our journey.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Now, I've got all inspired by George Marsh,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53the man who they say left his footprint here.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57How about we leave our mark? But we could use our hands, couldn't we?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah? So, let's find a place for your hand.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Give your fingers a good luck wiggle...
0:07:03 > 0:07:09and then here we go. Three, two, one...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Ahh, that's it, push nice and hard!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15We'll leave our handprints in the clay.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- All right, do you think you've done it?- No.- No?!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Well, push harder! Heave-ho!
0:07:26 > 0:07:27All right, here we go.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I'll count to three, and then we'll take them out.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37Here we go. One, two, three. Gently take them out.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Ooh, it tickles.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ahh, look! Look, there we are.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45One, two, three, four, five handprints.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I wonder if these will last as long as the footprint?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54'The Great Hall is the oldest part of Smithills,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55'and, once upon a time,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00'people slept, ate and danced all in this one big room!'

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Eh up, tiddlers! I think we've found your friends.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think we've come a bit underdressed.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You're wearing clothes I do not recognise.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I feel that you need to change into clothes that are like ours.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Oh, she's right. They're wearing Tudor clothes, they're very old.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, come on, let's see what we can find.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Boys, forward three.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Clap three.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Step back three.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45And clap three.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48'People have always loved to dance.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52'Here are some Victorian children dancing in the streets.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56'And this style of dancing is known as Charleston.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'Yeah, it's lots of fun.'
0:09:02 > 0:09:05'Ballroom dancing is very popular, too.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07'Couples dance around the floor
0:09:07 > 0:09:11'doing lots of special steps and turns.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15'And people often go to see ballet dancing on stage in big theatres.'
0:09:17 > 0:09:21'Whereas you can see Morris dancing at lots of country fairs
0:09:21 > 0:09:23'and carnivals.'
0:09:25 > 0:09:29'Bhangra is a style of dance that originally comes from India.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'Lindy hop is very energetic.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38'Eh, look how high the man lifts the lady!'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42'These children are performing a flamenco dance,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44'which comes from Spain.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48'Yeah, it has lots of arm movements and foot stamping.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50'Tap dancing is great to watch.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53'There are metal plates on the bottom of the shoes
0:09:53 > 0:09:55'that tap the floor.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00'These people are dancing in a traditional African style.'
0:10:02 > 0:10:04'Break dancing is fantastic to watch,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07'but, er, it's very hard to do.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12'And now we're all dressed up, it's time for us to do some dancing.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Much better.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Lovely. So, what are we doing?
