Q1: Who were the newly wealthy people of Tudor England??

[Answer]

In Tudor England many merchants had become wealthy. They wanted to show this wealth by buying land and building their own stately home or manor house.

After taking it from the church, Henry had lots of land to sell to them. As a result many new estates were formed and new great homes were built in the countryside.
