From the rise in population and bad harvests to the closing of the monasteries and harsh Poor Laws, we’ll explore the causes of poverty, the categories of the poor, and how Elizabethan England created one of the earliest welfare systems in Europe.
Learn about:
- The 1601 Elizabethan Poor Law
- Almshouses, houses of correction, and the “poor rate”
- The impact of enclosure and inflation
- Tudor views on charity and vagrancy
Plus examples of real local initiatives to support the poor.
