This fully resourced unit covers the Norman Conquest and the development of Church, state and society in Medieval Britain from 1066–1509.

Students are introduced to Norman England through a range of enquiry-based lessons which develop key historical skills including source analysis, interpretation, explanation, significance and historical judgement.

Throughout the unit, students investigate how William the Conqueror gained control of England and how the Normans used castles, the feudal system and the Church to maintain power.

The enquiry questions encourage students to think critically about Medieval life and change over time.
