Q1: What is the difference between a 'boot sale' and a modern market?

[Answer]

In Tudor times, the market was becoming more important.

During Tudor times people became wealthier and markets changed from a few times a year to every week or even every day.

A Tudor market was more like a 'boot sale' where market stalls gave local people and outsiders a chance to sell all kinds of things, both good and bad, old and new, from pigs and clothes to spices.
