DESCRIPTION

Shoes and Pattens (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London)

Until recently, very little was known about medieval shoes. Glimpses in manuscript illustrations and on

funerary monuments, with the occasional reference by a contemporary writer, was all that the costume

historian had as evidence, not least because leather tends to perish after prolonged contact with air, and

very few actual examples survived. In recent years, however, nearly 2,000 shoes, many complete and in

near-perfect condition, have been discovered preserved on the north bank of the Thames, and are now

housed in the Museum of London. This collection, all from well-dated archaeological contexts, fills this

vast gap in knowledge, making it possible to chart precisely the progress of shoe fashion between the

twelfth and fifteenth centuries.
