This is a study of one of England's principal cloth towns during
the late Middle Ages. It draws extensively upon unpublished records
in Colchester and elsewhere, and is the first history of a medieval
English town to analyse in conjunction the relationships between
overseas trade, urban development and changes in rural society.
First it describes Colchester in the earlier fourteenth century,
its trade, its agricultural setting and its form of government. The
book then shows how cloth-making grew in Colchester after the Black
Death and how the population increased until about 1414. The
implications of this for the government of the borough and for the
town's role in the local economy are discussed. The last section
shows that Colchester's growth was not sustained through the
fifteenth century, and examines some of the causal links between
economic contraction, institutional change in the borough and
agrarian depression in the surrounding countryside.
