Welcome to our Academy course – Tudor life with Ruth Goodman

What was life in the 16th century like for ordinary people? In this seven-part video series, social historian Ruth Goodman takes viewers on a tour of the Tudor period, exploring what people ate and drank, how they worked, what they wore, and even how they thought about love and marriage.

Episodes 1-3 available from 6 October. Episodes 4-7 available from 20 October.

Filmed on location at Plas Mawr – an Elizabethan townhouse in Conwy, North Wales, now in the care of Cadw – this series with Ruth Goodman looks beyond the royals who often dominate the headlines, and considers the everyday routines of those living in England and Wales in the Tudor era.
