Inventories
 Inventories were using in Tudor times to record
all the items a person owned when they died.
 They showed the value of each item and gave a
total value at the end.
 This can be used to show if a person was rich or
poor.
 An inventory can also show us facts linking us to
facts about a person’s lives
