Seek and Find in a Tudor Market Town

The two pictures on this page show a lot of activity! The first drawing shows a cut-away of the interior of a market house with a shop below and living quarters above. The second shows a Tudor market town in full swing. Under each picture there is a list of activities and items to look for in the scene. See how many items on the lists you can find! The second picture is a more difficult challenge! You may have to zoom in a bit.

• Wooden blanket chest

• Shoemaker's sign

• Piece of leather hide

• Yellow shoe

• Woman with feather in her hat
