about this session
Key stage 2 | Subject: History | Topics: Tudors | Session type: Route-based
Taking place on the Tudor route and led by a costumed presenter, this session encourages children to use the palace as a primary source. They will explore the notion of hierarchy and status within the Tudor court and how these are reflected in the buildings of the palace.
