About Us
The Tudor
Group is an historical interpretation society concentrating on the later Tudor period
(1560-1603 ).The Elizabethan era is one of change throughout virtually all aspects of life
and The Tudor Group, through enthusiastic demonstrations and talks, attempt to illustrate
some of the ordinary facets of life during this fascinating period.
Our members have varying experience ( between 1 and 25
years in historical interpretation ) and The Tudor Group has a growing reputation for
enthusiasm and historical accuracy. All of our presentations are supported by numerous
years of historical research, in many areas re-evaluating primary evidence. Our
presentations are especially suited for the National Curriculum.
Members of the group have co-ordinated or taken part in
events on behalf of sponsors such as
English Heritage,
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre,
Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust,
The Mary Rose Trust,
Historic Royal Palaces,
The Historic Houses Association and
The British Broadcasting Corporation.
Our dedication to accuracy can be seen not only in our
professional approach to public entertainment and education, but also in our attention to
detail. Our clothing for example is hand-stitched and the construction techniques are
drawn from surviving examples and other primary sources. The quality of our clothing
particularly, has involved us in advisory work for museums, film and theatre.
Amongst many other initiatives, we have been closely involved with:
