General guidance
The study of the historic environment will focus on a particular site in its historical
context and should examine the relationship between a specific site and the key
events, features or developments of the period. As a result, when teaching a specified
site for the historic environment element, it is useful to think about ways of linking the
site to the specified content in Parts 1, 2 and/or 3 of the specification.
There is no requirement to visit the specified site as this element of the course is
designed to be classroom based.
Students will be expected to answer a question that draws on second order concepts of
change, continuity, causation and/or consequence, and to explore them in the context of
the specified site and wider events and developments of the period studied. Students
should be able to identify key features of the specified site and understand their
connection to the wider historical context of the specific historical period. Sites will also
illuminate how people lived at the time, how they were governed and their beliefs and
values.
The following aspects of the site should be considered:
•location, function and the structure
•people connected with the site e.g. the designer, originator and occupants
•the design and how the design reflects the culture, values, fashions of the people at the
time
•how important events/developments from the depth study are connected to the site.
Students will be expected to understand the ways in which key features and other
aspects of the site are representative of the period studied. In order to do this, students
will also need to be aware of how the key features and other aspects of the site have
changed from earlier periods. Students will also be expected to understand how key
features and other aspects may have changed or stayed the same during the period.

Mary, Queen of Scots, arrives in England
On 16 May 1568 Mary, Queen of Scots, arrived on the Cumbrian coast of England after
seven eventful years in Scotland. In the previous year she had been implicated in the
murder of her second husband, Henry Darnley, and was now married to the Earl of
Bothwell, the main suspect for the murder. Her scandalous behaviour had lost her the
support of both the Catholic and Protestant Scottish nobles, who went on to defeat her
army at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568. Mary fled to England hoping that her
cousin, Queen Elizabeth, would help her regain the throne of Scotland.
On her arrival in England Mary was first placed under the protection of Elizabeth’s Privy
Councillor, Sir Francis Knollys, and escorted to Carlisle Castle. It wasn’t until November
1570, nearly a year and a half after her arrival in England, that Mary was brought to
Sheffield under the protection of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury.
This portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, during her captivity in England is dated 1578 but
was painted after her death and during the reign of her son, King James I. It and similar
ones are known as the ‘Sheffield Portraits’ because they were inspired by an original
portrait of the Queen painted by Nicholas Hilliard while she was at Sheffield Manor
Lodge in 1578.
