What was everyday life like for different sections of society in Tudor England?
This Tudor loans box serves both as a fantastic introduction and stimulus for further in-depth exploration of life in Tudor England. It contains objects to explore both the lives of rich and poorer families, adults and children. The hats provide an easy and effective way to inspire children to step back in time and embrace the social complexities and challenges of Tudor life.
All of the objects in this box can be handled or worn. Handling notes and information about all the objects are included in the box, along with ideas about the box can be used effectively in the classroom to support and inspire learning.
