Book Synopsis Aspects of Medieval and Later Southwark by : Heather Knight
Download or read book Aspects of Medieval and Later Southwark written by Heather Knight and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short monograph presents evidence related to medieval and later Southwark uncovered at London Bridge Station during construction of the Jubilee Line Extension. Early medieval Southwark was at risk from flooding, and evidence of the environment, land reclamation, embankments and drainage ditches has been found. The Domesday Book provides an early record of the settlement, and suggests that a Monesterium stood on the site of the present-day Southwark Cathedral. It was occupied by the Priory of St Mary Overie in the medieval period, when the bishops of Winchester had a palace in its grounds. St Thomas's Hospital was founded as part of the priory in 1106, and the settlement expanded around the bridgehead and Borough High Street. The hospital was rebuilt in the 13th century on the site of London Bridge Station to the east, where structural remains and associated burials were recorded. By the 16th century Borough High Street was known as 'Long Southwark' and scattered structural remains of the inns, alehouses and tenements which flanked it are described. Knight also discusses evidence for the Prior of Lewe's townhouse and Southwark's increasingly industrial character as trades relocated from the City of London. The volume includes a gazetteer of the 16 areas investigated.

Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology provides an overview of the international field of historical archaeology (c.AD 1500 to the present) through seventeen specially-commissioned essays from leading researchers in the field. The volume explores key themes in historical archaeology including documentary archaeology, the writing of historical archaeology, colonialism, capitalism, industrial archaeology, maritime archaeology, cultural resource management and urban archaeology. Three special sections explore the distinctive contributions of material culture studies, landscape archaeology and the archaeology of buildings and the household. Drawing on case studies from North America, Europe, Australasia, Africa and around the world, the volume captures the breadth and diversity of contemporary historical archaeology, considers archaeology's relationship with history, cultural anthropology and other periods of archaeological study, and provides clear introductions to alternative conceptions of the field. This book is essential reading for anyone studying or researching the material remains of the recent past.

Book Synopsis John Baker's Late 17th-century Glasshouse at Vauxhall by : Kieron Tyler
Download or read book John Baker's Late 17th-century Glasshouse at Vauxhall written by Kieron Tyler and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2005 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Bakers Thameside glasshouse in Vauxhall is the first of Londons 17th-century glasshouses to be excavated. This publication describes the finds from the site, demonstrates how Vauxhall competed with Londons other glasshouses and discusses Londons late 17th-century glass industry. The glasshouse opened sometime between 1663 and 1681, and had closed by 1704. Excavations in 1989 found a furnace, crucibles, tools, working waste and finished vessels. Vauxhall was operating when lead crystal was first being made in England but it produced vessels for a proven market: wine bottles, green-glass vessels and fine wares. The remains of a well-preserved 17th-century bargehouse were also recorded at the site.
Book Synopsis Medieval Southwark by : Martha Carlin
Download or read book Medieval Southwark written by Martha Carlin and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwark, situated directly opposite the City of London at the southern end of London Bridge, was London's first suburb. Martha Carlin examines the urban development of medieval Southwark from its Roman origins. She traces in detail Southwark's transformation from a semirural straggle of dwellings into a denselyinhabited community displaying such characteristically urban features as a diversified economy, a stratified and heterogeneous society, an excess of rubbish, and a traffic problem. This book is an important contribution to the study of medieval urban history.
Book Synopsis Early and Middle Saxon Rural Settlement in the London Region by : Robert Cowie
Download or read book Early and Middle Saxon Rural Settlement in the London Region written by Robert Cowie and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2008 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now the evidence for London's Early and Middle Saxon rural settlement and economy has received scant attention. This monograph provides a long-awaited overview of the subject, drawing on the results of six decades of archaeological fieldwork since the war, in addition to historical and place-name evidence. Some of the material has been published before and will be familiar to the reader, but much of it has only been available as site archives or unpublished reports, and at best briefly summarised as notes in excavation round-ups. This synthesis therefore forms an indispensible guide to researchers. The first part focuses on twenty-six sites and six fish traps across the region, followed by thematic sections on a range of topics, and then a final section on the pottery finds.

Book Synopsis Great Houses, Moats and Mills on the South Bank of the Thames by : Simon Blatherwick
Download or read book Great Houses, Moats and Mills on the South Bank of the Thames written by Simon Blatherwick and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2009 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regeneration in the 1980s-90s on the south bank of the Thames resulted in archaeological and historical investigations at Platform Wharf, Rotherhithe, and next to London Bridge, in Southwark. The development of both sites from the 14th century is of major interest. The Rotherhithe property was acquired c 1349 by Edward III and the existing house rebuilt by him in 1353-61 with two courts, including a riverside range of apartments. Royal interest ceased after Edward's reign, and the house passed to Bermondsey Priory in 1399. The fragmentation of the site into smaller properties, including ones with industrial uses, is charted. The Southwark site contained three notable residences during the medieval period and tidal mills on the waterfront. The 14th-century moated house of the Dunley family and a pleasure-house built by Edward II, the Rosary, were both acquired by Sir John Fastolf for his own grand London residence in the 1440s. In the later 16th century there was massive immigration into this part of Southwark and by the mid 17th century the former moats and gardens were built over with small properties and alleys. The moat infills produced exceptionally rich assemblages of domestic artefacts and ceramics, the waterside location preserved a wide variety of plants, timber structures and woodworking evidence.
Book Synopsis The Royal Navy Victualling Yard, East Smithfield, London by : Ian Grainger
Download or read book The Royal Navy Victualling Yard, East Smithfield, London written by Ian Grainger and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2010 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royal Navy victualling yard was excavated in 1983-8 as part of the Royal Mint site. Founded in 1560, on the site of a Black Death cemetery and the suppressed Cistercian abbey of St Mary Graces, it was the first large-scale naval food supply base in Britain and remained the principal one until the 18th century. The yard closed in 1785, having proved inadequate for the needs of the expanding Georgian navy. A substantial part of the ground plan of the yard was recorded, including salt houses and pickling sheds, slaughterhouses and yards, bakeries, coopers workshops, storehouses, and the offices and dwellings of yard personnel. The evidence suggests that food processing was increasingly industrialised from the late 17th century onwards. The excavated remains are compared to the substantial documentary evidence available, particularly two detailed plans of 1635 and 1776. The success and ultimate failure of the yard as a supply depot is assessed, including the extent to which former abbey buildings were reused by the navy and the deleterious effect this had. The work reported on here represents the most extensive excavation and post-excavation analysis of an early post-medieval naval victualling establishment in this country.

Book Synopsis St Marylebone Church and Burial Ground in the 18th to 19th Centuries by : Adrian Miles
Download or read book St Marylebone Church and Burial Ground in the 18th to 19th Centuries written by Adrian Miles and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2008 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St Marylebone parish grew from humble beginnings on the city's margins to become, in the 18th and 19th centuries, one of the wealthiest in London, home to the elite and fashionable. The small parish church on Marylebone High Street, built in brick in 1742 on the site of the medieval church, was inadequate for such a congregation and was superceded in 1817 by today's far grander edifice on Marylebone Road. Archaeological investigations in 1992 showed that the graveyard - levelled in the 1930s for a playground for St Marylebone Church of England School for Girls - lay substantially undisturbed beneath the playground. In 2004 plans to build an underground sports hall allowed excavation of a sample of the burial ground and part of the church itself. Most of the 350+ burials recorded were from the graveyard; some were in family vaults and others inside the church crypt. The archaeological results and detailed osteological analysis of 301 individuals are combined with documentary research into the parish and its population, including the woman who preferred parrots to men, the artist who died of lockjaw and the Reverend headmaster and his 'most wicked and abandoned wife'. This volume is one of the largest and most comprehensive studies of a post-medieval London cemetery.

Book excerpt: "The archaeological excavations at 1 Poulty included burials associated with the medieval church of St Benet Sherehog, and a post-Great Fire burial ground on the same location, which served the combined parishes of St Benet and St Stephen Walbrook until 1853. This volume presents the evidence for 280 burials found in the burial ground. The parish of St Benet Sherehog before and after the Great Fire is considered in terms of the documented population, their occupations, wealth, health, and mortality. Evidence for the medieval church of St Benet and the religious life of the parish follows. A detailed account of the human skeletal remains from the 17th to 19th century burials sample is included and compared with contemporary London cemetery populations."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The Medieval Postern Gate by the Tower of London by : David Whipp
Download or read book The Medieval Postern Gate by the Tower of London written by David Whipp and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2006 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited publication elucidates a remarkable monument, now preserved in situ beside the Tower of London. Excavations at Tower Hill in 1979 uncovered substantial remains of the medieval postern gate at the junction of the City's defensive wall and the moat of the Tower of London. The postern gate was constructed between 1297 and 1308, towards the close of the reign of Edward I. It formed a defensible terminus to the City wall and a minor gateway suitable for pedestrian traffic. The base of a rectangular tower survived on the south side of the gate passage, along with a staircase turret. The structure had a cellar and a ground floor chamber with a suspended timber floor, the superstructure surviving to the level of the arrow loops. The tower must have had at least one upper floor. These remarkable remains survived because of a dramatic landslip in 1431 or 1440, when the southern part of the structure slipped at least three metres down the side of the moat. The northern part of the gate probably remained standing whilst the underpinned southern tower provided the foundation for a rebuilt postern gate. Cartographic evidence shows that a postern gate stood on the site until at least the 17th century. Thematic aspects include documentary evidence that the gate was administered by the City rather than the nearby royal castle, the question of whether there was a Roman gate in the adjascent city wall, the appearance of the gateway and the character of the Tower Hill area in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Download or read book Winchester Palace written by Derek Seeley and published by Mola (Museum of London Archaeology). This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological rescue excavations in Southwark between 1983 and 1990 uncovered parts of the London house of the medieval bishops of Winchester. The archaeological evidence, mainly from the east part of the site, is supplemented by detailed documentary evidence. The property developed from the mid 12th century into a palatial residence, based around an inner and an outer courtyard, and enclosed by a boundary wall. In the 14th-century palace, a great hall, service rooms and kitchens occupied the north range, household and servants were accommodated around the other sides of the inner courtyard, while the bishop had his own apartments, chapel and garden. A passage below the hall gave access from the inner courtyard north to the wharves and river. Storerooms, workshops and stables lined the east boundary wall, with gardens in the west half of the enclosure. A parliamentary survey of 1647 describes the layout of the bishop's palace, which was sketched c.1644 by Hollar for his Long View of London . The site remained in the bishops' ownership until the 1640s and it was returned to them after the Civil War, but a multiplicity of tenants and subtenants occupies the palace; by 1720 it was 'disused and very ruinous'. The medieval bishop's palace became tenements and small industrial storage units; in the 19th century large warehouses were built. Fire in 1814 revealed the surviving medieval masonry of the hall and service range, and the hall's west gable wall with its rose window remains a prominent landmark today.
