'Imagine a home where the toilet was a plank over a pit and where glass windows were so valuable they were sometimes left in a will.

If you owned a carpet, you didn't walk over it - you displayed it on a table, or on the wall!' With the help of history detective Sherlock Bones, this book shows what Tudor homes were like to live in.

The reader will discover how Tudor homes were built and find out about chimneys, glass, beds, toilets, kitchens and gardens - in town and country homes, both rich and poor.

Full of fascinating information, the reader is presented with stimulating questions and prompts to help them compile their own project on Tudor homes.

Beautifully and logically presented, with clear photos, colour artwork, a glossary and index.
