__**Welcome to the Highfield UNIT 2 Wikispace **__ This unit provides an opportunity to investigate the reasons for, and the extent of, change in the English Church and State in the years 1529 to 1547. Students will need to have a sound understanding of the context and chronology of the early years of the Reformation in England. They should be able to assess the impact of both religious reformers and the conservatives on the development of the Church in England. Students should also understand and be able to explain the role of the state in initiating and carrying through change, how the relationship between Church and State altered and how the state and people were affected by the developments of the period. Students will also study the relative importance of the contributions of individuals such as Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Wolsey, Cromwell and Cranmer, and the influence of papacy. On this website you will find lots of resources that we will be using throughout this year, this includes videos that we don't have time to watch in lessons, reading PDFs, resources, the handbook, past paper essay questions and the powerpoints that we use in the lessons. Use the links on the right to the sections that we study in lessons and the tabs at the top to get involved in discussions (you will need to be signed in to do this). **To return to the main Historical Symposium Page click on the banner below **  **Mr. J.
