Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. 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 the design of the specified historic environment site 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.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing historic environment
A common mistake is to write about historic environment as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1272-1307.
Anchor the answer to Part four: The historic environment of Medieval England, use precise evidence, and state whether historic environment is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
