If you like this podcast, please remember to rate it in your listening service of choice. You can also always contact me through the facebook page or on the website. http://www.facebook.com/englandcast or englandcast.com Clothing was incredibly important in the 16th century because, at a time when the middle class was rising and upward mobility was available for the first time, your clothing could show who you were, how wealthy you were, what class you were, and all sorts of other things about you. This episode looks at both the perfectly normal (woolen undergarments) and the bizarre (bejeweled furs).

0:36.2	Winchester and Windsor with walking tours, free time to explore,
0:40.3	and then gathering back each afternoon for the Evensong Service if you choose to attend.
0:45.3	It will be 10 days of beautiful countryside, historic cities and villages, and so, so much music. I invite you to go to Englandcast.com
