The kind of religion at a certain time

played a big role in the education of the

country.

Children went to school in houses not

school buildings like we do today

When Catholic religion was the country’s

religion, catechism classes were also given
during instruction. During Protestantism,
students were also educated in the
Christian faith with Protestant views.

 Elizabethan Era Clothing
Elizabethans were not allowed to wear what clothes they liked. Their clothing and items of apparel
were dictated by the Elizabethan Sumptuary Laws which governed the style and materials worn.

The Elizabethan Sumptuary Clothing Laws were used to control behavior and to ensure that a specific
class structure was maintained. English Sumptuary Laws governing the clothing that Elizabethans
wore were well known by all of the English people. The penalties for violating Sumptuary Laws could
be harsh - fines, the loss of property, title and even life.
