Monastic enterprise in town and countryside: two case studies from north-east Shropshire
This paper examines the development of small medieval towns through a study of multi- disciplinary evidence of monastic activity in and around embryonic market settlements in northeast Shropshire. By comparing the parallel agendas of monastic landlords in these small towns and the surrounding countryside it will establish a connection that appears fundamental to the development of these settlements. In turn the relationships between these activities and neighbouring castle sites are examined in the context of influence in the local landscape.
