Review

`[Dr Rumble's] ability to contextualise written evidence in terms of the town's medieval layout, evidenced partly by archaeological excavations, is one of the great strengths of this edition.' Journal of the Society of Archivists

`Property and Piety makes a contribution not just to the history of Winchester, for which it makes essential reading, but to local, urban, social, economic and evento intellectual history.' Medieval Archaeology
