Tilbury Fort : 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 Tilbury Fort, the best-preserved and in some ways the finest surviving example of late 17th-century military architecture in England.

It offers a good introduction to a study of fortifications and its dramatic pentagonal design could stimulate a variety of cross-curricular activities.
