A comprehensive study of domestic buildings in London from about
1200 to the Great Fire in 1666. John Schofield describes houses and
such related buildings as almshouses, taverns, inns, shops and
livery company halls, drawing on evidence from surviving buildings,
archaeological excavations, documents, panoramas, drawn surveys and
plans, contemporary descriptions, and later engravings and
photographs. Schofield presents an overview of the topography of
the medieval city, reconstructing its streets, defences, many
religious houses and fine civic buildings. He then provides details
about the mediaeval and Tudor London house: its plan, individual
rooms and spaces and their functions, the roofs, floors and
windows, the materials of construction and decoration, and the
internal fittings and furniture. Throughout the text he discusses
what this evidence tells us about the special restrictions or
pleasures of living in the capital; how certain innovations of plan
and construction first occurred in London before spreading to other
towns; and how notions of privacy developed.
