Originally published in 1973, this book examines the urban community of Southampton through its early and formative years. Southampton is one of the most interesting and important medieval towns, because of its position as a ‘gateway’ between England and the Continent. The author uses both historical and archaeological evidence to establish the characteristics of an emergent burgess class: its trading interests, social pre-occupations and tastes. Problems of government, of economic development, defence and faith are discussed as they came to prominence in the community. The close interconnections within the burgess class are emphasized, and the importance of the neighbourhood and of ‘neighbourliness’ is stressed. The study of Southampton’s urban growth reveals much about economic changes and developments during the medieval period and shows a high level of contact between England and the other countries of Europe. The book is fully illustrated and includes chronological tables and extensive appendices.

Colin Platt (1934–2015) was Professor of History at the University of Southampton. He was founding Editor of the journal World Archaeology.
