PUPILS got to grips with 17th-century weapons during a special lesson on the English Civil War.
The Year Eight class at Wheatley Park School enjoyed a visit from English historical association and charity Sealed Knot, on Wednesday.
They heard a talk on the Civil War and the Battle of Marston Moor in York, before taking a closer look at the weapons of the time.

“They thought it was a great day, it all went down very well.
“We look forward to our next visit.”
