Abstract:

The towns of Roman Britain were probably never particularly successful, and even on the Continent, which did not see the catastrophic failures suffered on this side of the Channel, urban shrinkage and population drift certainly occurred. Our late and sub-Roman towns seem to have housed a few rich estate-owners, some perhaps in palaces, with a church (and eventually an AS cathedral) nearby; not until 7th century and later did these towns begin to see a dense proletarian population for the first time.
