Description
Book SynopsisA study of domestic buildings in London from about 1200 to the Great Fire in 1666. John Schofield describes houses and related buildings such as almshouses, taverns, inns and shops, drawing on evidence from surviving buildings, archaeological excavations, surveys and plans, documents and more.
Trade Review"Dr Schofield's study is scholarly and thorough... it undoubtedly constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of London before the Great Fire." John Goodall, Country Life "Schofield uses a full range of sources to reconstruct London's houses and layout from 1200-1600 A.D., and provides a gazetteer of some 201 sites in and around the City. Another beautifully produced and splendidly illustrated volume from Yale University Press." Antiquity
