This unit is designed to help children understand how religious buildings exemplify the beliefs and values of religious communities. It enables them to aquire knowledge of two Christian denominations and to explore how signs, symbols and metaphors are used to extend and deepen religious understanding.
This group will focus on the changes in the character of the village and employment opportunities brought by the canal, including the relationship between the church, school and village hall. Using comparative photography they hope to build up a comprehensive picture of the development through to the 'now', with supplementary interviews with those older members of the community.
