About This Book

A collection of historical essays that traces the arrival and influence of mendicant friars, reconstructs everyday village life in Norfolk six hundred years ago, and describes routines within medieval monasteries. Additional pieces investigate the impact and spread of the Black Death in East Anglia, outline the building up of a university, and profile a notable prophetic figure connected with Walnut-Tree Yard. Combining local detail, archival observation, and ecclesiastical context, the essays illuminate social structures, religious practice, and communal responses to crisis in medieval English society.
