Description
Reviews
These important accounts [...] throw much valuable light on the appearance of the hospital at its creation.... Of enormous value for historians of the late medieval and the early sixteenth century building trade, and those interested in building materials and economic activity in the London area. * ARCHIVES & RECORDS *
An admirable piece of work [that] will be an invaluable source for economic historians. * THE RICARDIAN *
Stanford's edition of the building accounts is a welcome addition to the Westminster Abbey Record Series. She has transcribed the complete account, and her introduction provides a variety of contexts for understanding the accounts. The index of last names also means that individual workers can be tracked, which would allow for further analysis of the work habits of skilled and unskilled laborers. * THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW *
