The late medieval English milling industry epitomizes one of the
most important technical achievements of early societies: the
exploitation of wind, water and muscle power for augmenting human
endeavours. Through a computerized analysis of the number and
variety of mills in England from 1300 to 1540, as well as the
technology, practices and personnel sustaining them, Langdon
reveals the structural evolution of the milling industry,
highlighting both its accomplishments and its limitations. Although
it focuses on England during the later middle ages, the book's
innovative methodologies and original findings will furnish useful
comparative material for all scholars investigating pre-industrial
societies. It also offers a challenging new perspective on the
later middle ages as a time of change, in addition to providing
enthusiasts of old technologies generally with a wealth of detail
about one of the most recognizable and enduring features of
medieval society.
