| Description: |
The port town of Winchelsea is mentioned in most books which discuss medieval England, mainly concentrating on the town as a member of the Cinque Ports. This monograph suggests that Winchelsea may have been considerably larger and more influential during the 13th and 14th centuries, than is usually considered to be the case. |
| Synopsis: |
The port town of Winchelsea is mentioned in most books which discuss medieval England, but perhaps inevitably, given the nature of the published literature, the references mainly concentrate on the town as a member of the Cinque Ports and on its planned grid system of streets laid out under orders of Edward I in the late 13th century. The town rarely appears amongst the lists of significant medieval towns and ports, unless the ranking is based upon participation in the maritime activities of the medieval realm. The implication is that Winchelsea was just another small medieval port catering to local needs. However, in the light of recent research, our views of the town's role in history need to be reconsidered. The various data presented within the pages of this monograph suggest that Winchelsea may have been considerably larger and more influential during the 13th and 14th centuries than is usually considered to be the case. |
