Shoes and Pattens
Until recently, very little was known about medieval shoes. Glimpses in manuscript illustrations and on funerary monuments, with the occasional reference by a contemporary writer, was all that the costume historian had as evidence, not least because leather tends to perish after prolonged contact with air, and very few actual examples survived. In recent years, however, nearly 2,000 shoes, many complete and in near-perfect condition, have been discovered preserved on the north bank of the Thames, and are now housed in the Museum of London. This collection, all from well-dated archaeological contexts, fills this vast gap in knowledge, making it possible to chart precisely the progress of shoe fashion between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.
The Archaeology of Medieval London
This account of London in the medieval period considers the city as the centre of politics, finance, trade and government in England. It describes up-to-date archaeological discoveries that throw new light onto the history of the medieval capital. Excavation has revealed much about the layout, architecture and fabric of the city, and it has provided intimate evidence of the daily lives of ordinary Londoners. The text is a summary of the mass of archaeological evidence that has been discovered since the 1970s. It offers an introduction to the fabric and structure of the ancient city, and it gives us an insight into the lives of medieval Londoners.
