Dr Suzannah Lipscomb takes us back to Tudor times in search of the household killers of the era.

It was a great age of exploration and science where adventurers returned from
the New World with exotic goods previously unknown in Europe. An era in which
the newly emergent middle classes had, for the first time, money for luxuries
and early consumer goods, many of which contained hidden dangers.

The period also saw a radical evolution in the very idea of 'home'. For the
likes of Tudor merchants, their houses became multi-room structures instead of
the single-room habitations that had been the norm (aristocracy excepted). This
forced the homebuilders of the day to engineer radical new design solutions and
technologies, some of which were lethal.

Suzannah discovers that in Tudor houses the threat of a grisly, unpleasant
death was never far away in a world (and a home) still mired in the grime and
filth of the medieval period - and she shows how we still live with the legacy
of some of these killers today.
