This monograph details the results of a major archaeological
project based on and around the historic town of Wallingford in
south Oxfordshire. Founded in the late Saxon period as a key
defensive and administrative focus next to the Thames, the
settlement also contained a substantial royal castle established
shortly after the Norman Conquest. The volume traces the pre-town
archaeology of Wallingford and then analyses the town s physical
and social evolution, assessing defences, churches, housing,
markets, material culture, coinage, communications and hinterland.
Core questions running through the volume relate to the roles of
the River Thames and of royal power in shaping Wallingford s
fortunes and identity and in explaining the town s severe and early
decline."
