Researchers from the University of Kent, King's College London and the University of Birmingham have developed a class calculator to explore the cultural and social world of the 16th and 17th Century England. The calculator will allow individuals to see where they would have sat on the social scale during the period of 1560 - 1660 and can be used as a research tool to identify the status of historic figures. The Social Status Calculator , inspired by the 2013 BBC Great British Class Calculator , is an educational resource tool which breaks down what "middling? status would mean for those living during the 16th and 17th century England - the kinds of people who were neither very rich, nor very poor.
