Yarmouth Castle : A Handbook for Teachers

This is one of a series designed to help teachers planning a site visit.

Historical background is combined with a variety of possible study approaches, documentary sources and photocopiable activity sheets for classroom and on-site work, together with practical information about the site.

This book focuses on Yarmouth Castle, which was built on the Isle of Wight following the French invasion of 1545.

The book contains detailed information about 16th-century methods of attack and defence, and there are ideas for cross-curricular studies, a cut-out model, a survey sheet and an activity based on the theme of pirates.
