SOCIETY IN 16TH AND 17TH CENTURIES
In 16th century England most of the population lived In the 17th century the population of England and in small villages and made their living from farming.
However towns grew larger and more important. During the 16th century trade and industry grew rapidly and
England became a more and more commercial country.
Mining of coal, tin and lead flourished. So did the iron industry. During this period England became richer and richer. Meanwhile the population of England rose steadily during the 16th century.
Tudor society was divided into four broad groups. At the top were the nobility who owned huge amounts of land.
Below them were the gentry and rich merchants.
Gentlemen owned large amounts of land and they were usually educated and had a family coat of arms. Most important gentlemen never did any manual work. Below the gentry were yeomen and craftsmen. Yeomen owned their own land. They could be as wealthy as gentlemen but they worked alongside their men. Yeomen and craftsmen were often able to read and write. Below the yeomen were the tenant farmers who leased their land from the rich. There were also wage laborers. They were often illiterate and very poor.
In the 16th century about 50% of the population lived at subsistence level. In other words they had just enough food, clothes and shelter to survive. For them life was very hard. In the 16th century jobs were not always easy to find. In
Tudor Times there were thousands of people without jobs
