An excellent website that shows how much can be done on limited resources, this was created by Carran Craig and the children of 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. The children have contributed their own pictures and text too.
