Filey history students battle it out to win first prize

Hide AdHistory teacher Gill Williams said: “All of the students got really excited about it, they were coming up to me at break times and lunch times with their ideas and were so enthusiastic we decided to make it into a competition.

English Heritage kindly donated a family pass worth £35 for the winner and there were gift vouchers for second and third place winners.
