4.9/5 (12569 ratings)

Description:A full colour map showing London about 1270 to 1300 - its walls and gates, parish churches, early monasteries and hospitals, and a growing number of private houses. The city's streets and alleyways had been established. Dominating London are the Tower of London in the east, the old St Paul's Cathedral in the west and London Bridge in the south. Up-river in Westminster, the abbey and the royal palace had been well established, and the great Westminster Hall is very evident. London's playground in Southwark was beginning to grow.The map is a revised version of the map of London c.1270 which appeared in the Atlas of London up to 1520, completely revised to take into account the many discoveries — archaeological and historical — made over the past 35 years. We have also shown new features such as the water pipes and conduits which brought 'sweet' water to the City; vineyards and orchards; and the new works at the Tower being built by Edward I.The team of historians working on the map is led by Professors Caroline Barron and Vanessa Harding with contributions by Professor Martha Carlin on Southwark, Dr Nick Holder on the religious houses and Tim Tatton-Brown on Westminster and Lambeth.The map also features as a layer of the Layers of London website where it can be seen in context. Users can look at a modern map and maps of different date, including the Map of Tudor London, and vary the transparency of them for comparison purposes. The Layers of London site also has photographs and items of social history attached to it and is a great resource for the local and family historian.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
