Topography; administration and government; legal and Parliamentary representation; disputes with Blythburgh and Walberswick; fishing; trade and town life; the bailiff's minute book of Dunwich, 1404-1430.
An unambigous example of urban decay... The editor's introduction, which discussed the topography, customs, government and economy of Dunwich in the light of wider debates about the period, is a most valuable contribution to urban history... it is pleasing to have to hand such a source of detail about the practices and problems of a small fifteenth-century town. RICARDIAN (R.H. Britnell)This volume of Suffolk history is so skilfully organized that one can only admire Mark Bailey's attention to detail and understanding the work of an editor...imaginative and endlessly instructive. ALBION 25/3 (Elaine Clark) Valuable information on borough decisions, MPs, freemen, royal tax apportionment, conflicts with Blythburgh and Walberswick, and much else its particular value lies in its full information on the port's fishing activities... a major source for Dunwich and for the fishing industry.
