Medieval Leicestershire: Recent research on the Medieval Archaeology of Leicestershire
Monograph No. 3
Archaeological research on medieval Leicestershire can now tell us much about the life and death, food, housing, agriculture, landscape and environment of the ordinary working people who made up the majority of the population of the county from the Saxon period to the end of the Wars of the Roses.
For many years archaeologists in Leicestershire have been collecting information from excavations, walking the fields in search of evidence, looking at the landscape and documentary evidence and analysing the many medieval buildings that still exist. Villages, houses, churches, castles, coal-mining and farming, all are investigated. Questions are asked such as did Leicester Forest exist? What does the landscape tell us? How did the county take its current form? What was the city of Leicester like during this period and what did people eat and what can we tell from their bones? The contributors to this scholarly and fascinating book bring together and interpret information painstakingly gathered by professional and amateur archaeologists to give us an insight into daily life in medieval times.
