Inside a rich persons house

• Inside the house of a rich person you would find
  lots of rooms. There would be several rooms in
  the attic. You would normally have three parts.
  Everyday people would pray in a special room, it
  was like a very small church. They called it The
  chapel. People would have lots of portraits of
  famous people like the King and his family or
  Shakespeare.

Inside a poor persons house

• Inside a poor persons house you probably
  wouldnt have an attic. Some very poor people
  would live in one room and sometimes the mother
  and father would have as many as seven or eight
  children living with them in the one room. Some
  houses had a partition in one corner of the room
  just enough for the mother and father to sleep
  in. If there were two floors then the ground
  floor would have a kitchen at one end and the
  other end would be for animals.

The windows and doors of a Tudor house

• Wealthy Tudors would have had glass in their
  windows. The glass would be made in very small
  panes held together with strips of lead. Not so
  wealthy people would only have shutters. The
  windows usually had black or brown beams and were
  very small. The most striking window treatment
  to emerge in the Tudor period is the oriel and
  projecting multi-sided window cantilevered out
  from an upper floor and supported on a bracket or
  corbel from beneath.

In Tudor times the doors were very small. They
were normally made out of wood

The chimneys of a Tudor house

• The chimneys were very tall and were usually
  clustered in groups. Individual chimney columns
  were curved, twisted, and decorated with
  checkerboard patterns of different coloured
  bricks. There were lots of chimneys because there
  was at least one fireplace in each and every room.

Materials used to make a Tudor house
Thatch
White washed wattle and daub

• If you were buying materials for your house and
  you were a wealthy person you would use brick for
  the walls. If you were not so wealthy you would
  use stone for the walls instead or wattle and
  daub. A wealthy person would use clay tiles or
  lead for the roof but a poor person would have
  thatch.
