Tracking Down: Medieval Life in Britain

From monasteries to castles, gardens and artistic treasures, the Medieval world is still all around us – if we know where to look! This exciting fact book shows how to examine the legacy of the past through evidence from museums and the built environment, and is packed with ideas for visits to local sites of interest. Themed chapters explore different aspects of Medieval life – the church, the feudal system, knights and battle, school, family life and the monastic order – in facts, photos and drawings. Each chapter then encourages children to explore the historical evidence for themselves in visits to museums, excavations, stately homes, castles and churches from all around the UK!
