The History Detective helps you to answer questions about Tudor Homes by finding clues in your local area.
'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.
Our detective shows you how to:
- Search the local library and Record Office for evidence
- Find clues in old newspapers, adverts, letters and reports
- Create your own project
There are also mysteries and puzzles for you to solve as you follow a trail back to Victorian times, when thieves and vagabonds were all around . . .
