Description
Bristol in 1480: A Medieval Merchant City A detailed map of Bristol in 1480, set against a background of an early 20th-century Ordnance Survey, brings to life the city as it was during the late Middle Ages. This map is the result of research combining William Worcestre's 15th-century description of the city with archaeological information and historical research. The map reveals a thriving city, with its merchant houses, churches, and largely vanished city walls, showcasing a town that was one of the top five in England in the late Middle Ages. The accompanying introduction provides context for the city in 1480, while the reverse side features an illustrated gazetteer of Bristol's main sites of medieval interest, produced in association with the University of Bristol.
