An examination of Coventry's process of urbanisation from its
origins in the Anglo-Saxon past to the eve of the Black Death. The
processes by which medieval urban communities were formed and
developed can be clearly seen in this study of Coventry. Following
a survey of Domesday evidence, the book goes on to look at the
mechanisms for economic growth inCoventry during the twelfth
century, in which both lay and monastic lords played a significant
part. Coventry in the thirteenth century reveals other issues:
migration to and from the town, the occupational structure within
Coventry, and the urban land market. The story of Coventry's
development into the fourteenth century ranges over trade,
manufacturing and occupations, and notes changes in the land
market. Making extensive use of the town's rich documentation, this
study presents the reader with a closely argued analysis of the
stages by which Coventry developed from its origins in the
Anglo-Saxon past to a vibrant and wealthy urban community on the
eve of the Black Death. Dr RICHARD GODDARD teaches in the School of
History, University of Nottingham.
