National Maritime Museum
www.nmm.ac.uk
The National Maritime Website at Greenwich has extensive collections covering the Tudor period at Greenwich, including its collection of paintings in the Tudor room. The website contains a great deal of material about the period, but it is not organised under one heading and so can be difficult to find. The site search engine can be used for this purpose, however, and searches for 'Tudors', 'Tudor palace', or 'Henry VIII' will link you to the relevant sections. There are online copies of some of the drawings used by Time Team during the excavation, which featured in the programme.

Greenwich Foundation
www.greenwichfoundation.org.uk
When the Royal Navy departed from Greenwich in December 1998, responsibility for the Old Royal Naval College, which stands on the site of Henry VIII's palace at Greenwich, passed to the Greenwich Foundation. Their website contains information about the site, including a brief history and details of a free exhibition about Time Team's excavations there.

Greenwich Palace
www.britannia.com/history/
londonhistory/grw-pal1.html
The Britannia website has a good history of the royal palace at Greenwich, including a contemporary account of one of Henry VIII's jousting tournaments there.

Tudor History
www.tudorhistory.org
Extensive website with information on all the Tudor monarchs and the period in general. As well as sections dealing with life in Tudor times, who's who in Tudor history, genealogies, maps, chronologies and electronic texts and documents, there's even one on 'Tudor humour'.

The Tudor Project
www.burbage-jun.leics.sch.uk/tudors
An excellent website that shows how much can be done on limited resources, this was created by Carran Craig and the children of Class 4M at Burbage Junior School, Leicestershire. The project covers the Tudor Years (1485-1603), offering useful facts and figures on many aspects of Tudor Life. There is an assortment of trivia, biographies, case studies, and some entertaining quizzes and puzzles, including one in which you have to arrange Henry VIII's mixed-up armour correctly. The children have contributed their own pictures and text too.
