Everyday Life in Tudor Times

During Tudor times most of England was covered in trees and woodland. Villages were built in clearings in the woodland, with farming as the main occupation. Life was basically contained in the village, travelling tended to be on foot or horseback to the market in the local town. Almost everyone grew their fruit and vegetables, kept animals and caught fish and rabbits etc. They usually made their own clothes, toys and other belongings.
