RESIDENTS of a Hampshire town have been given a glimpse into Christmases past.
The good children of Romsey were rewarded with a gold coin while the bad children were rounded up in sacks as part of the festive Tudor Christmas celebrations at King John's House museum.
For two days, the 13th Century merchant's house, in Church Street, gave people an insight into how Christmas was celebrated in Tudor times.
Performed by the Hungerford Householders, the group of 12 entertainers dressed in traditional costume put on sword fighting displays, storytelling and dancing.
Accompanied by a Tudor band, including a hurdy-gurdy and the bagpipes, St Nicholas was also on hand at the independently owned museum.
Managing director Anne James of King John's House, said: "This is the third time we have been visited by the group and they never fail to entertain."
