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.

Background information for Yorkshire after the Norman Conquest 1066-1088
England Invaded but not Conquered
At first sight it appeared that William the Conqueror’s take-over of England after the Battle of
Hastings had gone smoothly. Thanks to his overwhelming military supremacy and the lack of unity
amongst the surviving English nobles, he had captured Canterbury, Winchester, and most
importantly, London which allowed him to establish a base in south-east England. These lands were
further secured when William confiscated the estates of Harold Godwin and those who had fought
with him at Hastings and shared them amongst his Norman followers. Some Saxons kept their lands
and offices after swearing an oath of allegiance to William while continuity was maintained in the
church with Stigand continuing as Archbishop of Canterbury. As a result, in the spring of 1067
William felt safe enough to return to Normandy leaving Odo of Bayeux in Dover and William
FitzOsbern in Winchester in charge. However, William’s belief that his rule in England was secure
was misplaced.
