- The Paint files in this folder are as follows :
-
- 1066tv - the Pevensey coastline in 1066.
-
- 1995tv - the Pevensey coastline in 1995.
-
- pevOS - an example of how you could use a present
- day OS map and enter 1066 information on
- it to show how the area has changed (yes,
- I know I am not the world's best artist and
- that a 5 year old pupil can do better !).
-
- se1066 - a more detailed map of the area in 1066.
-
- Here is an interesting exercise that can be
- carried out by pupils (well, I think that it is
- interesting) :
-
- - you will need a copy of OS Landranger 199 map,
- 'Eastbourne, Hastings and surrounding area'.
-
- - you will also need a copy of the Domesday Book
- for Sussex. Published by Philimore, 1976,
- ISBN 0 85033 146 3.
-
- - have a supply of tracing paper and pencils ready.
-
- Pupils should make a tracing of the present
- coastline and mark on it some of the major towns
- and villages between Pevensey, Hastings and Battle.
-
- Pupils could then describe how they would make a
- present day journey by car and on foot from
- Pevensey to Battle, via Hastings.
-
- Using contour lines on the map and the Paint files
- on this disc, pupils can make a tracing of the
- coastline in 1066.
-
- Using Domesday, they could mark on this map
- settlements that existed in the 11th century.
-
- How do you work out William's route out of
- Pevensey ? (note - his ships sailed from
- Pevensey to Hastings, whilst his knights rode
- the distance).
-
- Answer (I think) - Domesday gives examples of
- settlements that were pillaged and raised by
- these Norman knights on their way to battle.
-
- e.g. NINEFIELD.
- Value of the whole manor before 1066 £6;
- later 20s; now 105s.
-
- BEXHILL.
- Value of the whole manor before 1066 £20;
- later it was waste; now £18.10s.
-
-
- If you want to take a real 'Blue Peter' approach
- to this subject - toilet role holders on each
- corner of the tracing paper, with the different
- tracings at different levels, will give you a
- 3D image of the changing countryside (who needs
- computers anyway ?).
-
- NOTE : view the Paint files in MODE 15.
