Tudor Monastery Farm

The farm team arrive at Weald and Downland in West Sussex, a new location in a new time period. There are domestic tasks to tackle, from lighting fires with flint, to making meals.

The second episode revolves around wool, known as the jewel in the realm of the English economy and accounting for around half the country's wealth.

The team learn to master the landscape away from the farm in order to supplement their income.

This episode explores the theme of hospitality in Tudor England. With no provision for the poor from the state, it was down to the monasteries to provide welfare for those in need.

It's harvest time, winter is drawing in and the Dissolution of the Monasteries is on the horizon. The team will be bringing in the barley and celebrating with a harvest feast.
