Gunpowder Plot Letter

An image of the actual letter received by Lord Monteagle warning him to stay away from Parliament on the day of the 5th November 1605.
I’ve also included the transcription which helps children to read and understand a little better.
Great for a lesson on the gunpowder plot but also great for looking at spellings, punctuation and grammar.
You could ask children to rewrite it in today’s language and sentence structures.
You could pick apart the reason it was so concerning.
You could speculate about who wrote it because despite most people agreeing it was his brother in law (one of the conspirators) there is no confirmed evidence of this.
