A very useful resource, thank you Roy. I actually used it for an interview lesson, with a higher ability Y8 class. After the children sorted the cards in groups I then adapted it into a debate over the statement 'The Fire of London was a wicked Catholic plot' - the children really engaged with it.
Great resource!
