I'm at the Weald and Downland Living Museum demonstrating aspects of soap making through the ages with a particular focus on the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Join me for a look around this historic house and a glimpse of the conversations and washballs made today.

I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
