  1. Tudor Homes Created by Debbie Potter Round Diamond School

  2. In the Tudor period people would have lived in timber framed houses. The size and quality of the building would have depended on the wealth of the family.

  3. Wood was plentiful and most houses and furniture were wooden. Once the frame was erected, the gaps were filled with wattle and daub (twigs covered in a mud and dung plaster.) Oak was the most used wood as it took much longer to rot. The wooden beams were joined using pegs and each wall was pulled into place by teams of men with ropes. The roof would have been thatched with straw.

  4. The amount of furniture you had depended on your wealth. Poor families would have had a straw mattress to sleep on and a pot to cook their meals in. Rich families would have had stools, a table, an armchair and the very lucky a bed to sleep in.

  5. Think about the types of family who would have lived in each of these houses.
