MAP OF TUDOR LONDON (HISTORIC TOWNS TRUST 2ND ED)

A newly revised second edition of the full colour engravings map showing London in about 1520 showing its many churches, monasteries, legal inns, guild halls, and a large number of substantial private houses, in the context of the streets and alleyways that survived the Great Fire, which can still be discovered. Dominating the city are the Tower of London in the east, the old St Paul's Cathedral in the west and London Bridge in the south. The city was largely contained within its medieval walls and ditches but shows signs of spilling out into the great metropolis it was destined to be. The map incorporates changes from new information that has become available and has a revised cover and illustrations.
