Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witnessing the shift from the medieval world based on trade with Europe's Atlantic coast to a new system encompassing the American colonies, the seventeenth century was a pivotal period in Bristol's commercial history. It has, however, received relatively little attention from modern historians. What work has been done has either focused on qualitative sources, or merely sampled the statistical evidence. This thesis, therefore, represents the first in-depth statistical study of Bristol's seventeenth-century trade. Based on a detailed examination of the surviving Port Books and Wharfage Books, it challenges many previous views. The first half of the thesis examines Bristol's trade in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, showing that, rather than being a 'dark epoch', these years were a time of commercial prosperity for Bristol. Trade with the city's existing markets is shown to have expanded significantly, as a result of both a diverse supply of exports and consumer demand for a range of imported wares. The later chapters provide the first detailed account of the emergence of Bristol's American trades. This shows that they developed faster and earlier than has previously been thought, questioning the assumption that Bristol's commercial success in the Americas trade depended on the slave trade. The principal driving force of the seventeenth-century expansion is shown to have been the growing colonial population's demand for English manufactures, and the rising domestic appetite for ever-Cheaper supplies of sugar and tobacco. Finally, Bristol's involvement in other branches of trade in the latter-seventeenth century is examined. This chapter charts the mixed fortunes of the city's traditional trades, as well as the reluctance of Bristol's merchants to exploit opportunities beyond the Atlantic.
Download or read book English Inland Trade written by Michael Hicks and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southampton brokage books are the best source for English inland trade before modern times. Internal trade always matched overseas trade. Between 1430 and 1540 the brokage series records all departures through Southampton’s Bargate, the owner, carter, commodity, quantity, destination and date, and many deliveries too. Twelve such years make up the database that illuminates Southampton’s trade with its extensive region at the time when the city was at its most important as the principal point of access to England for the exotic spices and dyestuffs imported by the Genoese. If Southampton’s international traffic was particularly important, the town’s commerce was representative also of the commonplace trade that occurred throughout England. Seventeen papers investigate Southampton’s interaction with Salisbury, London, Winchester, and many other places, long-term trends and short-term fluctuations. The rise and decline of the Italian trade, the dominance of Salisbury and emergence of Jack of Newbury, the recycling of wealth and metals from the dissolved monasteries all feature here. Underpinning the book are 32 computer-generated maps and numerous tables, charts, and graphs, with guidance provided as to how best to exploit and extend this remarkable resource. An accompanying web-mounted database (http://www.overlandtrade.org) enables the changing commerce to be mapped and visualised through maps and trade to be tracked week by week and over a century. Together the book and database provide a unique resource for Southampton, its trading partners, traders and carters, freight traffic and the genealogies of the middling sort.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology in Britain written by Christopher Gerrard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 1105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages are all around us in Britain. The Tower of London and the castles of Scotland and Wales are mainstays of cultural tourism and an inspiring cross-section of later medieval finds can now be seen on display in museums across England, Scotland, and Wales. Medieval institutions from Parliament and monarchy to universities are familiar to us and we come into contact with the later Middle Ages every day when we drive through a village or town, look up at the castle on the hill, visit a local church or wonder about the earthworks in the fields we see from the window of a train. The Oxford Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology in Britain provides an overview of the archaeology of the later Middle Ages in Britain between AD 1066 and 1550. 61 entries, divided into 10 thematic sections, cover topics ranging from later medieval objects, human remains, archaeological science, standing buildings, and sites such as castles and monasteries, to the well-preserved relict landscapes which still survive. This is a rich and exciting period of the past and most of what we have learnt about the material culture of our medieval past has been discovered in the past two generations. This volume provides comprehensive coverage of the latest research and describes the major projects and concepts that are changing our understanding of our medieval heritage.
Download or read book The English Woollen Industry c 1200 c 1560 written by John Oldland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to describe the early English woollens’ industry and its dominance of the trade in quality cloth across Europe by the mid-sixteenth century, as English trade was transformed from dependence on wool to value-added woollen cloth. It compares English and continental draperies, weighs the advantages of urban and rural production, and examines both quality and coarse cloths. Rural clothiers who made broadcloth to a consistent high quality at relatively low cost, Merchant Adventurers who enjoyed a trade monopoly with the Low Countries, and Antwerp’s artisans who finished cloth to customers’ needs all eventually combined to make English woollens unbeatable on the continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newport Medieval Ship is the most important late-medieval merchant vessel yet recovered.

Since its discovery in 2002, further investigations have transformed historians’ understanding of fifteenth-century ship technology.
