| Summary | "Mediæval London" by William Benham and Charles Welch is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the rich history and development of London during the medieval period, exploring significant events and transformations that shaped the city. The authors focus on various aspects of medieval London, including its architecture, governance, commercial life, and notable occurrences that contributed to its evolution into a prominent urban center. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of London during the medieval era. It discusses the city’s transition from its ancient roots through the influences of various rulers, including King Alfred and William the Conqueror. The narrative examines the societal decay following Roman rule, the gradual resurgence of London as a commercial hub, the establishment of religious institutions like Westminster Abbey, and notable landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral. This foundational overview effectively introduces readers to the critical historical context and themes that will be explored in more detail throughout the text.
