Historians in Years 11-13 listened to two stimulating presentations by Gresham’s A level History pupils

Historians in Years 11-13 were lucky enough to listen to two stimulating presentations by Gresham’s A level History pupils on Tuesday evening. Sarah E spoke about ‘Lessons in Lincoln’, discussing the historical significance of Lincoln Castle, its Magna Carta and the significance of Gerald of Wales. That was followed by Emily G speaking about the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 in a talk which explored its causes, key personalities and significance, whilst drawing on the parallels with the Poll Tax Riots of March 1990.
