This is one of a series for teachers which aims to show how historical resources can be used as a basis of study in specific areas of work across a range of curriculum subjects. Each book contains practical exercises and ideas to aid understanding for groups at different levels. This book focuses on listed buildings.

This book explains what listing is, and suggests ways in which teachers can make the best educational use of listed buildings.
