Tudor Buildings: Wren and Raven Investigate | Primary History | School Trips and Local History #kids

🗺️ Join the ghost of Christopher Wren and his friend Raven as they investigate Tudor buildings across the UK - from royal palaces to local houses. 🧱 In this episode, students learn to spot key Tudor building features such as timber framing, red Tudor bricks and wattle and daub. They’ll also discover how the Great Fire of London changed the way people built homes. 📍 Perfect for KS1 and KS2, this video can be used before a school trip to a Tudor building or a local history walk to highlight features to spot. It also helps pupils understand that buildings are historical sources. The Wren and Raven series supports pupils to: ✨ look closely at the buildings around them ✨ recognise how buildings change over time ✨ identify key architectural features ✨ understand that buildings are historical evidence we can use to learn about the past. #kids #history #kidshistory #teaching #historyteacher #primaryschool #primaryeducation #tudorhistory 🕒 Chapters 00:00 Meet Wren and Raven 00:55 Tudor house 01:25 Timber frames and Wattle and Daub 02:04 Tudor palace 02:26 Bricks and chimneys 02:43 The Great Fire of London 02:57 Tudor windows 03:30 Where did poorer people live? 04:06 Tudor buildings around the UK 04:20 Building changes over time 05:06 Can you find these features on buildings near you? 🏆 Credits Historic Royal Palaces with special thanks to the team at Historic England Produced by Ouch Health Ltd Written by Angela Salt Dédé Davi as the voice of Raven Richard Hainsworth as the voice of Wren 📷 Images © Historic England Archive https://historicengland.org.uk/images... https://historicengland.org.uk/images... https://historicengland.org.uk/images... © Helmut Schulenberg.
