A non-accredited history and heritage course.

Course Description

Five minutes before midnight on 4th November, a cloaked and spurred man, John Johnson of Nidderdale (aka Guy Fawkes) unlocked a cellar door underneath the House of Lords. In his pockets were matches, fuse and timepiece ready to ignite thirty-six barrels of gunpowder hidden beneath firewood in the cellar. This day school unravels the story of Guy Fawkes and how he became drawn into the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Why do we burn Guy Fawkes alone of all the thirteen conspirators?
