Our nation is a treasury of outstanding palaces and fine merchant houses from this rich period in our past. Here we uncover what these remarkable buildings can tell us about Tudor lives and times: what life was like for the masters and the ordinary people; how they cared for their homes; their daily routines; their diet and health; how they entertained themselves. This is an informative and entertaining look at the daily reality of life in the Tudor period, from the wealthiest families to the humblest of households.
