- Entertainment -
Popular culture = In general was more secular. You would go to church several times
per week if you did not attend you were fined. (Side note- Shakespeare was fined for not going to church).
Most harmless form of entertainment consisted of:
1. Parades concerning religion, holidays, military and showing off captured Indian or black people (slaves).
2. Picnic at the insane asylum= Watching mad people run around while you have a lovely picnic.
3. Bear Baiting- tie bears to sticks and let dogs attack them.
4. Public Confessions- people would confess their sins
5. Hanging - hangings would take place
6. Beheading - some protesters felt this form of entertainment was too quick therefore wedged the blade of axe in order to last longer.
7. London Bridge - See heads on sticks as you passed through and see all heads which came back to villagers as a deadly plague.
-Formal Form of Entertainment-
THEATERS - out door spaces in court spaces
Earlier forms of Theater
You could also attend plays, two types of plays: morality play and miracle plays.

Every man "To help teach them lessons"
Miracle Play
Taught life of Jesus, as you learned a lot from the bible.
