A 'truth universally acknowledged'?: morphology as an indicator of medieval planned market towns

Susan Oosthuizen

Landscape History, 2013, vol. 34, issue 1, 51-80

Abstract: The paper explores, through the case study of March, a large town in the northern part of the Cambridgeshire peat fens, the general invariability of interpretation as planned markets of new medieval settlements that include both regular plots and one or more geometric open spaces. It asks whether manorial lords might achieve similar ends to those derived from medieval market grants - an increase in income from rents and tolls - by applying lessons learned from commercial planned settlements in other economic contexts.
