Medieval Norwich

By: Carole Rawcliffe

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Throughout the middle ages, Norwich was one of the most populous and celebrated cities in England. Dominated by its castle and cathedral priory, it was the centre of government power in East Anglia, as well as an important trading entrepot. With records dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, and many buildings surviving from the middle ages, the history of medieval Norwich is an exceptionally rich one. Medieval Norwich is an account of the growth of the city, with its walls, streams, markets, hospitals and churches, and the lives of its citizens. It traces activities and beliefs, as well as the tensions lying not far beneath the surface that eventually erupted in Kett's Rebellion of 1549.

Norwich Since 1550

By: Carole Rawcliffe

Norwich remained the second largest city in England until the eighteenth century. Its history over the last 450 years is of exceptional interest. Norwich since 1550 is a full account of the post-medieval history of the city and covers all aspects of Norwich life, including its population, housing, churches and chapels, politics, work, education, arts, architecture and medical care. It brings out Norwich's individuality and shows how it became the city it is today. While it changed and developed in many ways over the centuries, its textiles could not compete with those of the northern boom towns of the Industrial Revolution. Instead it settled into its role as a regional and banking capital.

Urban Bodies

Communal Health in Late Medieval English Towns and Cities

By: Carole Rawcliffe

This first full-length study of public health in pre-Reformation England challenges a number of entrenched assumptions about the insanitary nature of urban life during "the golden age of bacteria". Adopting an interdisciplinary approach that draws on material remains as well as archives, it examines the medical, cultural and religious contexts in which ideas about the welfare of the communal body developed. Far from demonstrating indifference, ignorance or mute acceptance in the face of repeated onslaughts of epidemic disease, the rulers and residents of English towns devised sophisticated and coherent strategies for the creation of a more salubrious environment; among the plethora of initiatives whose origins often predated the Black Death can also be found measures for the improvement of the water supply, for better food standards and for the care of the sick, both rich and poor."--Provided by publisher.

The Hospitals of Medieval Norwich

The Hospitals of Medieval Norwich

By: Carole Rawcliffe

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.
