An accompanying web-mounted database (http://www.overlandtrade.org) enables the changing commerce to be mapped and visualised through maps and trade to be tracked week by week and over a century.

Reviews & Quotes
"The excellent cartography displayed shows what can be done and drawn out evidence-wise using this combination of methods…As well as shedding much new light on the English medieval economy, this well-produced volume illustrates how much modern digital techniques can extract from a source previously considered intractable."
