<p>We don’t often think about the Tudors as being particularly hygienic people but they were actually a lot ‘cleaner’ than what we generally give them credit for. They were of course limited by the technology of the time and the challenges associated with disposing of the sewage and rubbish of a growing population but this does not mean that they did not try to keep themselves and their houses clean.</p>
<p>According to Alison Sim, the Tudors washed themselves a lot more often that what is generally thought. How often is not exactly known but the fact that recipes for soap and ‘hand or washing waters’ are included in household instruction manuals illustrate that there was definitely an interest in personal hygiene (Sim, Pg. 47).</p>

<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;">I have just added a new category to our resources section called ‘Historical Programmes &amp; Documentaries’ where you will find information about and links to quality historical programmes and documentaries about the Tudor monarchs and life in Tudor England. This is a work in progress so expect more information and links to be added regularly.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left;">I have started by adding 30 quality videos made by Historic Royal Palaces covering everything from Politics in Henry VIII’s Tudor England to dance and cooking.</div>
<p></span></span></div>
<p>These short clips are a great introduction to different aspects of life in Tudor England and are highly engaging and informative.</p>
