Book Description
Great Britain and Ireland enjoy a rich cartographic heritage, yet historians have not made full use of early maps in their writings and research. This is partly due to a lack of information about exactly which maps are available. With the publication of this volume from the Royal Historical Society, we now have a comprehensive guide to the early maps of Great Britain. The book is divided into two parts: part one describes the history and purpose of maps in a series of short essays on the early mapping of the British Isles; part two comprises a guide to the collections, national and regional. Now available from Cambridge University Press, this volume provides an essential reference tool for anyone requiring to access maps of the British Isles dating back to the medieval period and beyond.

St Mary's was the foremost Benedictine Abbey in the North of England. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the Abbot's Lodging, now known as the King's Manor, became headquarters of the King's Council in the North; it is now part of the University of York. This lavishly-illustrated account summarises the site's history and presents a wealth of illustrations of both historic and artistic interest.

Pages : 138
Book Description
The first bridge to span the River Ouse in York was built by the Romans. Then, and in the medieval period, the river remained an essential lifeline of communication, an important facilitator for transport and trade and a place to obtain drinking water. This supplementary volume to The Archaeology of York series looks at bridges past and present, though focusing primarily on the Tudor bridge built in 1565 and dismantled from 1810-1818. Although almost no archaeological evidence for the bridge survives, the imminent destruction of the bridge meant that artists were keen to capture this particular river view before it was lost forever. This volume discusses and describes the history of the Ouse crossings, the construction and form of the Tudor bridge and its associated buildings and waterfront and includes a gazetteer of illustrative material.

Based on her Doctoral research, Katherine Giles's study focuses on the physical structure and spatial arrangement of medieval guildhalls. A programme of EDM and hand survey, as well as photogaphic recording was applied to three guildhalls in York (Trinity Hall, St John the Baptist's Hall and St Anthony's Hall), and the author's theoretical and methodological approaches are considered with regard to these case studies and to the study of guildhalls in general.
