Explanation

Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part four: The historic environment of Medieval England. The evidence should connect to Study people connected with the site, such as the designer, originator and occupants and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Anchor the answer to Part four: The historic environment of Medieval England, use precise evidence, and state whether design is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
