DESCRIPTION:This paper uses nearly 350 pauper inventories from Dorset\, Ke
 nt and Norfolk to assess the material lives of the poor. It starts by anal
 ysing furniture and hearth-related items and then moves on to assess how 
 ‘new’ goods\, such as tea\, came to affect the poor’s everyday lives
 . Through this I will examine the extent to which the poor were able to en
 gage with the market and will offer a unique perspective on what people at
 e\, how they relaxed\, how they kept warm\, how they slept and so on.
