The article is devoted to the study of everyday life of the Englishmen of the Elizabethan era, and in particular their houses, according to the testimony of William Harrison, author of «Description of England», 1577. From William Harrison’s point of view, an Englishman's home is an object of pride. According to him, houses in England differ in the material from which they are built. According to William Harrison, the difference in materials for building houses is determined by the climatic conditions of the area where they were built. In addition, the difference in houses is determined by the status of their owners. There are houses of commoners and aristocrats. William Harrison gives a special place to the decoration of houses, focusing on the latest fashion trends in the interior, namely, the increase in the number of chimneys and fireplaces, the appearance of feather beds and silverware. These innovations, according to him, affected all segments of the population of England. «Description of England» by William Harrison allows you to figure out that home means a lot in the mentality of the English Tudor era.
