    Poor Tudor families lived in simple houses and wore simple clothes. Most people lived in rural areas, but some lived in bigger cities; like London or Bristol. They ate simple food, like a soup called potage.

    Rich Tudor people liked to live in extravagant houses to show off their wealth. They wore fancy clothing and often had parties and banquets. Servants cooked huge meals with many courses and entertainment was provided by musicians and other performers.

    Tudors used wooden plates called trenchers. There was no electricity so people used candles or rushlights.

    Food was cooked over an open fire in a cauldron.

    Some rich people learned to read using hornbooks.

    People were often quite smelly and carried around lavender to disguise the smell! They also made pomanders out of oranges and cloves to hang in the house.
