Q5.
As if to compensate for the crooked dark streets and the small dark houses, the outsides of the houses were 
painted and carved, and priests walked in red and green boots. Even burial cloths were crimson and blue 
and gold. In churches, there were cloths of gold, with flowers and ostrich feathers woven of jewels and 
metallic thread. No one could have called London dull. 
Q6.
A well-to-do family lived in a house where the main room was the hall. There were painted tables, 
cupboards and chairs with matching curtains in some bright, cheerful colour. The bedroom was a single 
upstairs room usually used by the whole family. The beds were the most valuable articles of furniture in 
the whole house. The kitchen and pantry were well equipped. 
Q7.
The shortest and quickest route through London was by boat, and the river was never empty of the private 
barges of the nobility and the public boats of the watermen, who travelled back and forth as the fourteenth-
century equivalent of a taxi system. There was also a constant movement of goods, with local boats 
bringing all the necessary things.
