Counties and Communities
This collection of twenty East Anglian essays celebrates Hassell Smith's seventieth birthday. It has been written and edited by former colleagues, friends and post-graduate students who have been connected, in various ways, with his work at the Centre of East Anglian Studies at the University of East Anglia during the past thirty years. They cover a wide variety of topics from the thirteenth century through to the eighteenth century and make a valuable contribution to the understanding of the history of Suffolk and Norfolk.

The Hospitals of Medieval Norwich
In an age of widespread poverty and disease, the medieval hospital performed a number of important charitable functions, many of which addressed the spiritual rather than the physical health of the individuals it sought to help. Changing attitudes to the sick poor, prompted by the social and economic upheavals of the later Middle Ages, had a dramatic impact on these institutions, whose rise and decline also serve as a useful indicator of urban prosperity. This book presents the first detailed study of Norwich's nineteen medieval hospitals and leper houses, set against a wider background of contemporary ideas about sickness and health and of society's obligations to the poor. It draws upon a wide range of archival material to broaden our knowledge of patrons and patients, as well as of the financial problems which made survival so difficult.
