LIFE IN THE 1500'S
The next time you are washing
your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here
are some facts about the1500s:
These are interesting...
Most people got married in June because they took
their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a
bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths
consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the
other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could
actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.
Houses had thatched roofs-thick
straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small
animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off
the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs.
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the
house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your bed. Hence, a bed with big
posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor
was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that
would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter
wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was
placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a thresh hold.
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)
In those
old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added
things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers
in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite
a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.
Sometimes
they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to
show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with
guests and would all sit around and chew the fat. Those with money had plates made of pewter.
Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most
often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according
to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of
days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen
table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence
the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins,
1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So
they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could
be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that's the truth...Now, whoever said History was boring
! ! !
