The clothing of Pre-Norman England was very simple, existing primarily for protection and warmth with little or no interest in fashion. All classes wore garments of similar type. Distinctions of rank were shown in the quality of the fabric and in the person's jewelry. Wool was the most common fabric. It was died in basic, natural colors. Upper class women might occupy their spare time by working embroidery, but such adornment was rare.
