In conversation with… Dr Alex Hildred, Head of Research and Diane Budden, Medical Historian.

Coronavirus it was not, but 'The Sweating Sickness', the epidemic prevalent in Tudor England, was a match for our current pandemic and was feared greatly by the population of England. If contracted, you could be dead in a matter of hours. Scary stuff!!

Alex and Diane, discuss this epidemic, and other widespread diseases as well as Tudor medicine in general and how those diseases were treated.
