Medieval Living

One of the goals we have for Medieval Living is to create a living village for students to visit and learn about crafts and trades common to the Medieval era. Well just yesterday I came upon an interesting website – while not a physical Medieval living village, it still has some very interesting eduational applications! Referred to as the “Yalding Project“, it is a large scale lesson on life in Medieval England during the 14th century. Yalding sounds like the typical Medieval village, with church, a bridge, manor houses and courts, hop farms and more. Some 29 lessons are available, along with supporting documents, lesson guides and reference works. I hope to spend more time reading through this very interesting set of lessons – anyone interested in teaching Medieval history, whether high school, college, home school or otherwise, should find this site interesting and beneficial!!!
