SANDAL CASTLEL.O To use my knowledge of castles and my investigative skills to create

a sketch of what Sandal Castle may have looked like.

Why do you think Sandal Castle was built where it is?

Think about what benefits the location had using the map and images.

There were no cars 300 years ago so what might have been used for transport? Use the map to help.

What do the two photos tell you about the castles position

and the land around it?

What features can you see from the picture?

Make sure you refer back to the features you found during the last lesson on castles.

What materials were used to build the castle?

What might this stonework have formed around the castle?

What goes all the way around the outside of the castle??

What might this part of the castle been either side of the moat?

Using the images provided can you create a detailed drawing of what you think Sandal castle looked like?

CHALLENGEOnce you have drawn your castle, could you create a birds eye plan of the castle?

We know the castle had a moat drawbridge, keep, hill and outer

wall.

You could draw a 2D castle or attempt to

draw a 3D castle.

Use the guide on youtube to help you but do not just copy the image as it will not be Sandal Castle.
