Transforming Townscapes: From Burh to Borough: the Archaeology of Wallingford, AD 800-1400 by Matt Edgeworth, Helena Hamerow, Oliver Creighton, Neil Christie (Paperback, 2013)
Transforming Townscapes details the results of a major archaeological project based on and around the historic town of Wallingford in south Oxfordshire. Founded in the late Saxon period as a key defensive and administrative focus next to the Thames, the settlement also contained a substantial royal castle established shortly after the Norman Conquest. The volume traces the pre-town archaeology of Wallingford and then analyses the town's physical and social evolution, assessing defences, churches, housing, markets, material culture, coinage, communications and hinterland.
