A view of history I never heard at school

5.00A very interesting take on the 1500s and early 1600s from the view of some back people who were involved at the time. In the course of hearing about all this we learned about the big difference between the rules in the city of London and in Southwark on the other side of the river. We heard about Diego, who sailed with Sir Francis Drake on the Golden Hinde and acted as a translator and about Reasonable Black Man who sold silks, at a reasonable price. Fascinating stuff. you never learned in school.

5.00It was a very good and informative walk with a knowledgeable guide. She knew a lot about the subject, and it was good to have actual people that were mentioned to make it feel more more real I would recommend it to anybody who is interested in Tudor history and didn’t know anything about this side of it
