Exeter is an especially rewarding place for the study of the early modern house and its contents: not only does it preserve a splendid series of Elizabethan inventories, but excavation and study of historic buildings by archaeologists have accumulated a mass of physical evidence relating to this subject. John Allen, Exeter Cathedral Archaeologist and RAMM’s former Curator of Antiquities will illustrate how these different sources build up to a picture of the city’s Elizabethan homes.

The Queen's bedchamber was once a private and a public space and it was her Ladies of the Bedchamber who were guardians of the truth as to the Queen's and thus the nation's wellbeing.
