The poor in Tudor times

It seems there is more information about the upper classes in Tudor England. Many students in our class wondered about the poorer people in that time. One link below offers some interesting and useful information about the living conditions and the kind of work the poor did then.http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/tudors/poor.htm
