| These pictures were taken in the week before Christmas at a small local museum in north London called Church Farmhouse Museum. Every Christmas they decorate one of their rooms for a Victorian Christmas. The furniture remains there on display all year but they add all the decorations and toys. This is the sort of Christmas celebration a middle-class family would have had around 1850. The room is decorated with holly and ivy from the garden. By this date the Christmas tree had been introduced from Germany and become very popular due to the influence of Queen Victoria's German husband Prince Albert. |
