Tudor Monastery Farm

Tudor Monastery Farm

Description: Archaeologist Peter Ginn and historian Ruth Goodman, who is also a leading specialist in Tudor domestic life, return to front this six-part series, following the success of living history series `Victorian Farm', `Edwardian Farm' and `Wartime Farm'. Joined this time by archaeologist Tom Pinfold, the team turns the clock back to the year 1500 to take on the role of the lay-folk who did the bulk of the farming and crafting within monastic lands. From sheep farming and harvesting to fashioning a printing press and building a Tudor clock, the presenters are put through their paces to give viewers a real-life account of what life would have been like in 1500, during the reign of the first Tudor King, Henry VII. The medieval landscape used for the series is the farm at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum in West Sussex.
