Due to a server upgrade we are currently having some problems with the virtual world elements of Tudor Hackney.
We are looking into the problem and we hope to have this content working again soon.

Other parts of the site will tell
you what Hackney was like in this period, when it
comprised three parishes - Hackney itself,
Stoke Newington and Shoreditch, on the edge of the
City of London, home to two theatres and an up and
coming playwright, William Shakespeare.

Much of the information we
have on the Rectory comes from an inventory
of the house taken when the owners, John and
Jane Daniell, fell foul of the law, and their
house and goods were seized by the Crown.
Their story is told here in
the form of a video
drama - find out more about them, how they
raised the money to alter the house and what
happened to them in the end.
Enjoy your excursion into Tudor Hackney.
We hope
that it will provide an insight into general Tudor life, and how court and country could come
to be linked in the web of intrigue and politics
of the latter days of Elizabeth I. |
