Title: The great household in late medieval England
First published: 1999
Description: In the later medieval centuries, a whole range of important social, political and artistic activities took place against the backdrop of the great English households. In this vividly illuminating book, C. M. Woolgar explores the details of life in these great houses. Based on an extensive investigation of household accounts and related primary documents, he examines the daily routines, the weekly and annual patterns, and the life-cycle observances of birth, childhood, marriage, death and burial.

He also delineates the major changes that transformed the economy and geography of both lay and clerical households between 1200 and 1500.
