CHILDREN at North Tawton Community Primary School got a taste of what a Victorian classroom would have been like during last weekend's Nanny Knight's Revel celebrations.

At the event youngsters took part in a traditional assembly and went into Victorian and Edwardian style classrooms.

There was also an exhibition and gallery of the children's work and craft from the term, old fashioned races in the playground and a musical concert of Oliver! in the afternoon.

The revel celebrations were resurrected in 2012 to bring a lost tradition back to North Tawton.

The tradition dates back around 100 years, originally organised to celebrate the safe return of Nanny Knight, an old lady from North Tawton who had gone missing.

The townsfolk searched high and low and Nanny Knight was eventually found safe and well, asleep in a cornfield.

Her family were so pleased to have her home they organised a celebration, the Nanny Knight's Revels.
