Opis

The British Archaeological Association's 2007 conference celebrated the material culture of medieval Coventry, one of the wealthiest English cities of the later Middle Ages. The conference papers review past and current archaeological investigations, and present new research into the city's economic history, architecture, stained glass, wall-paintings and seals. Sites covered include the cathedral priory, St Michael's church, St Mary's guild-hall, the Charterhouse and, beyond the city, Combe Abbey, Guy's Cliffe and Kenilworth.
