This highly illustrated book uses prints, maps, objects and archaeological finds to describe the great changes which occurred in London during the Tudor period. The book looks at the huge religious changes caused by the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Using objects from the Museum's collections, it describes typical houses and their contents, the growth of trade and industry and the everyday lives of Londoners. It also looks at the flowering of literature and the arts under Elizabeth I, as well as the new craft skills brought to London by the many new immigrants.
