Urbanisation and the Urban Landscape: Bury St Edmunds URBANISATION AND THE URBAN LANDSCAPE: BUILDING MEDIEVAL BURY ST EDMUNDS ABBY L. ANTROBUS VOLUME 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Durham 2009 ABSTRACT Urbanisation and Urban Landscape: Building Medieval Bury St Edmunds. Abby L. Antrobus Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) was a great Western European pilgrimage and commercial centre. Primarily, this thesis presents the first synthesis of fragmentary topographical, archaeological, documentary and architectural evidence for the development of this under-publicised town, from its proto-urban origins to c.1220. It reveals: a likely Middle- Saxon enclosure; an hypothesised early suburb; a Late-Saxon settlement, church and assembly place; a nine-part grid of AD 1066-1086; 12th-century additions, including defences and the market place; and later 12th-century suburban development and reinvestment. Secondly, the thesis contributes to Medieval urban landscape studies by demonstrating that there is potential to engage with frameworks developed in Historical Archaeology that recognise towns as invested, negotiated and lived spaces. ‘Townscape’ is framed as an arena in which fortunes were made and contested by individuals and institutions. Rapid urbanisation across Europe was bound up with a commercial boom and the related widespread enfranchisement of urban communities, particularly marked in the later 12th-century. Jocelin of Brakelond’s Chronicle (1173-1202) reveals the powers of negotiation gained by the burgesses of Bury St Edmunds and here, the aspirations of the population are considered alongside the evolving landscape and building stock. Inspired by studies of Late-Medieval and Early-Modern towns, which demonstrate coincidences between the enclaves of urban elites and the most significant social, economic, political, religious and ritual places in mutable urban topographies, this thesis seeks evidence for the built environment in the formative High-Medieval period. Can patterns be evinced from the historical, archaeological and architectural record to reveal these developing topographies? In dialogue with the exercise of feudal lordship, did the community define themselves in the landscape? The interpretations drawn from fragmentary data are informed by recent work on the diversity of High-Medieval urban building form. What lined the streets of Bury St Edmunds? Where were the most significant buildings? i DECLARATION No part of this thesis has been submitted for a previous degree and no part has been previously published. I dedicate this thesis, as a token of love and deep gratitude, to Sue, Terry and Matt Antrobus. ii CONTENTS Abstract i Declaration ii List of Figures vi Abbreviations and terminology x Acknowledgements xi 1 Introduction: urbanisation and archaeology 1.1 Aims of the thesis 1 1.1.1 Aim 1: revealing a hidden history 2 1.1.2 Aim 2: understanding ‘urbanism in action’ 6 1.2 The High-Medieval urban phenomenon 7 1.2.1 Origins 8 1.2.2 Transition 9 1.3 Archaeological agendas: framing the ‘urban process’ 14 1.3.1 Urban archaeology in Britain 17 1.3.2 Research agendas 20 1.3.3 Urban morphology 23 1.4 Objectives and structure of the thesis 28 1.5 Conclusion 31 2 High-Medieval urban landscapes: an approach 2.1 Chapter introduction 33 2.2 Architecture and activity in the High-Medieval town 34 2.2.1 Recent work on urban architecture 36 2.2.2 Shops and shopping 41 2.3 Building fortunes 44 2.4 High-Medieval urban society 47 2.4.1 The Gild Merchant 50 2.5 Bury St Edmunds as a case-study 51 2.5.1 Economic background 52 2.5.2 Government and society 54 2.6 Urban societies and urban landscapes 62 2.6.1 Historical-Archaeological case-studies 66 2.6.2 Medieval social topographies 69 2.7 Conclusion 72 3 Sources for the study of Medieval Bury St Edmunds 3.1 Chapter introduction 75 3.2 Published studies 76 3.3 Map regression 79 3.4 Archaeological information 81 3.4.1 Heritage management in Bury St Edmunds 82 3.4.2 The archaeological dataset 84 3.5 Architectural evidence 86 3.5.1 Cellar survey 89 3.5.2 Corpus of buildings 92 3.6 Documentary evidence 93 3.6.1 Published sources 94 3.6.2 Manuscript sources 96 iii 3.7 Chapter conclusion 97 4 Beodericesworth and Sanctae Eadmundes Stowe (AD 650-1065) 4.1: Chapter introduction 99 4.2: Historiography – how urban was the early ‘town’? 100 4.3: Where was King Sigeberht’s monastery? 104 4.3.1 Was St Edmund moved to an existing church at Beodericesworth? 106 4.3.2 Antecedent landscapes 107 4.3.3 Middle-Saxon archaeology 110 4.4.

  • Ideal Homes? Social Change and Domestic Life
    IDEAL HOMES? Until now, the ‘home’ as a space within which domestic lives are lived out has been largely ignored by sociologists. Yet the ‘home’ as idea, place and object consumes a large proportion of individuals’ incomes, and occupies their dreams and their leisure time while the absence of a physical home presents a major threat to both society and the homeless themselves. This edited collection provides for the first time an analysis of the space of the ‘home’ and the experiences of home life by writers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social policy and anthropology. It covers a range of subjects, including gender roles, different generations’ relationships to home, the changing nature of the family, transition, risk and alternative visions of home. Ideal Homes? provides a fascinating analysis which reveals how both popular images and experiences of home life can produce vital clues as to how society’s members produce and respond to social change. Tony Chapman is Head of Sociology at the University of Teesside. Jenny Hockey is Senior Lecturer in the School of Comparative and Applied Social Sciences, University of Hull. IDEAL HOMES?

A BST R A C T The aims of this research are to examine and explore perceptions of the built environmental impacts of heritage tourism in urban settlements; to explore the practice of heritage tourism management; and to examine the consequences of both for the sustainability of the heritage environment. The literature review explores the concepts of heritage management, the heritage production model, the tourist-historic city, and sustainability and the impact of tourism on the built environment. A theoretical framework is developed, through an examination of literature on environmental impacts, carrying capacity, sustainability, and heritage management; and a research framework is devised for investigating the built environmental impacts of heritage tourism in urban settlements, based around five objectives, or questions.

Distance learning in general is examined, and current models of provision and the audiences served by these programs exp discussed for three broad categories: (1) Flexistudy, which combines college-based individual and group tutorials with individual correspondence course work; (2) directed private study, which combines work at home on correspondence course style materials with tutoring at local colleges; and (3) individualized home study, in which students arrange a program based on a mixture of currently available distance teachingmaterials, specially-prepared assignments, directed reading, and exercises. Distance learners and the experience of distance learning are discussed, and findings are reported from a survey of 69 students in') two distance learning schemes. A final chapter considers the future development of distance learning for adults and summarizes main findings of preceding chapters. A 30-item reference list is provided, and appendices include a 7-item bibliography of open univ 'ty research on distance learners, contributors to the report, an the Flexi-Study student profile questionnaire.

Although they are intended primarily for use by students there, they are open for members’ consultation during normal library opening hours. All volumes are indicated with our bookplate, together with their original owner (where known) or donor. The first was set up in York, based in the historic King’s Manor building, as part of the University of York’s collections, and consists of both modern and historic volumes. Our second collection is based in Bristol at the University’s History of Art Department (of which this is the first catalogue), 43 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UU, e-mail: [email protected] It is has now been catalogued, by Claire Cross & Jen Orme; many thanks to them for the work entailed. This catalogue also includes a list of dissertations completed by students of Garden History at Bristol. We continue to be offered more books for our two libraries in York and Bristol, for which many thanks. Surplus books and repeats are being made available for sale to interested students and members.
