Jone Bysco – Looking for Clues in a Tudor will

(0)
This resource gives students the opportunity to try out reading a real Tudor document for themselves – the will of Jone Bysco of Harksted, dating from 1564. The will lists all of Jone’s worldly possessions, almost allowing us to have a look around inside her house (and her wardrobe!). The resource can be modified to be used with all ages from KS2 to A Level and provides a real insight into the skills that historians need.
