description: The Tudor period was a time of massive social change in England with growing cities increasing trade and growing stability after the chaos of the Wars of the Roses. Despite military preparations in every county and the establishment of a new navy the country was generally at peace and England and Wales were becoming more closely integrated. Religious changes affected every person with the Reformation bringing change to most corners of the country and the dissolution of the monasteries allowing those with cash to build new estates and removing the traditional schools and hospitals.Derek Wilson offers insight into the world of Tudor England - revealing what it was really like to live in a period of great growth and the difference between living in the city and the country.
