About the event

There was a social revolution in England and elsewhere in Europe between 1200 and 1500 CE. In 1200, individuals had few goods and objects; by 1500, goods were everywhere. The study of this world of things is being reshaped by new approaches to the historical record, which contribute to our understanding of the objects themselves and their connections to medieval people. It offers us fresh perspectives on mentalities and daily lives amidst this growing material world, from textiles, clothing and furnishings, to cherished drinking vessels.
