The senior pupils at The Hawthorns School in Bletchingley were transported back to the Medieval period on Wednesday 18th January.

They all took part in a morning of activities which covered gory topics such as the murder of Thomas Beckett and the Black Death.

Jo Taylor, Head of History, said: "The pupils really enjoyed watching a play in the morning.

They then worked in small groups to produce their own version, along with authentic costumes from the time!"
