  Investigating Tudor Times

  Monday 5 September 2011 to Friday 16 December 2011

  KS2, KS3 - History, Literacy, Maths

  Discover life in Tudor Newcastle through transcribing extracts from the Chamberlains’ Accounts – the city treasurers’ records. Get to grips with 16th Century English and maths. Find out how much it cost to keep ‘ ii blinde wyffes’ or ‘whip a boy for doing evil’ - and how historians use archives like these to build a social portrait of the period.

  This session can be offered in the Archives education room in Discovery Museum or in your school.
