Tudors

The Tudor monarchs presided over the New Forest at a turbulent time.

What was life like in the New Forest during Tudor Times? How important was the New Forest and coast to the defence of the realm?

The Tudor resource examines the impact of Tudor monarchs upon the New Forest and also how archaeology can enable us to discover clues to the everyday lives of people in Tudor times that still surround us today.

Local landmarks such as the impressive Hurst Castle feature in the Tudor resource.

The Mystery Tudor loan box builds on exploring a local Tudor person in detail.
