About this session
Key stage 3, Moderate learning difficulties (MLD) | Subject: History | Topics: Tudors, Elizabethans, Crime and punishment | Session Type: Route-based
The Tudor period was a time of huge turmoil in England, and many of those who fell out of favour with the monarch found themselves imprisoned in the Tower of London. This session explores the Tower as a Tudor prison, delving into the lives – and escapes! - of some of those who were imprisoned, in the very locations where history happened.
This session is delivered by a presenter skilled in supporting students with moderate learning difficulties.
This session is based entirely on route, in public areas of The Tower of London.
