Description

This course looks at the way the wool trade changed the architecture of England. It concentrates on two periods when the trade brought great prosperity to large parts of the country: the Middle Ages, when the stunning churches of the Cotswolds and East Anglia were built, and when picturesque towns like Lavenham sprang into prominence, and the 18th century, with its often large water-powered mills and extraordinary market buildings.
