| Abstract: |
The editor's introduction (1-12) outlines the history of the medieval city and summarizes the contributions which follow. He also (15-30) describes the setting and pre-medieval history (late Iron Age enclosure, Roman military and civil occupation). N Baker (31-8) on churches, parishes, and early medieval topography suggests an area of pre-Cathedral occupation within the Roman defences, centred on two or three churches (RB survival or British community?); the urban parishes crystallized in 12th century. D Hooke (39-49) examines charter evidence for late 9th century burh plots and for the city's hinterland and routeways. In Part 2, C Beardsmore (53-64) considers the documentary coverage of the 9th century burh, the motte-and bailey castle (c 1069-1825), the ?13th century city walls, and the gates. Excavation and survey reports by J Bennet, S Hirst, and J Wills (65-111) describe recently exposed lengths of the walls and discuss a possible extension to enclose the suburb of Sidbury. Part 3 treats the church: N Baker (114-24) surveys the urban churches and chapels; H Clarke's excavations (126-37) S of the Cathedral produced some late Saxon burials; excavations outside the SE transept by B Booth and A Cubberly (143-52) revealed a ?polygonal chapel added to the Norman apse. In part 4 (livelihood) the excavation of three medieval craftsmen's tenements in Sidbury is described by M Carver: 12th century bone-working gave place to bronze-smithing in 14th and 15th centuries. A type series of medieval and post-medieval pottery in Worcester is presented by E Morris (221-54), while M Carver (255-60) discusses documentary evidence for potting and tile-making, and interprets an 1860 excavation of a ?late medieval tile kiln at Diglis. The end of the Middle Ages is covered by articles by N Molyneux (262-8) with an architctural description of a 15th/16th century stone building in Angel Street, and P M Hughes (269-92) whose documentary research offers a topographical survey of post-Reformation Worcester, illustrating a period of urban renewal.
