Excavations at Medieval Cripplegate, London

Excavations on bombsites between 1946 and 1968 uncovered remains of Saxon and medieval structures on top of a Roman fort. This well-illustrated volume is one of five to publish in full the results of these excavations by W F Grimes. In this volume Milne discusses the methodology of 'archaeology after the Blitz' and reappraises Grimes' work and, in brief, the date of finds before reporting on the post-Roman archaeological discoveries. These include medieval defences, Saxon buildings, three parish churches and a medieval hospital.
