Nottingham: The Buried Past of a Historic City Revealed covers the story
of the part of the city, which was known as Nottingham during the
medieval times. It is an accessible read and the ideal book for anyone
with a general interest in the history of the city of Nottingham,
however, will suit professional archaeologists and students alike due to
the large amount of previously unpublished material. Key points to be
discussed include Nottingham Castle, the churches and friaries of the
medieval period, the medieval town wall, Nottingham's manmade caves, the
industries that took place in Saxon and Medieval times, as well as
little known facts such as Nottingham's connections to the Vikings. This
book also offers some possible answers to the never before published
mysteries which archaeological work has uncovered such as the large
burial site in the city center and a mysterious village or suburb which
briefly existed just outside of the city center in the 14th century.
