Assignment; Medieval Nottingham

Take a look at Maurice Barley’s seminal 1969 historical summary of Nottingham and the more recent taster paper by David Knight et al on excavations revealing the origins of the town.  You might like to supplement this with your own reading – local studies libraries are bursting with Nottingham material.  We will discuss Nottingham as an example of the development of a great Midland’s town in the Middle Ages – come prepared!
