The Victorian antiquary John Timbs gathers pictures of domestic life in England from the Britons and Romans onward: Saxon meals, life in the medieval castle, dress, trades such as the pin-makers of old London Bridge, and the customs of town and country, with plenty of anecdote drawn from chronicles and older antiquaries.
A browsable miscellany of social history, best dipped into by lovers of English customs and curiosities. Download the free EPUB.
