London Before the Conquest W R Lethaby

This work by W. R. Lethaby was first published in 1902. It details the topography and history of ancient London. Complete with many illustrations of ancient artefacts, this work includes chapters on craft gilds, rivers, schools, wards and parishes, quays, and much more. This is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in the ancient history of the capital city of England. To compliment the republication of this text, a brand new short introduction on the history of London has been added.
