Although the Church played a major role in the development of towns and cities from the earliest times many important aspects of the early stages of urbanization in England are still poorly understood.Urban Growth and the Medieval Church employs a wealth of historical and archaeological evidence from two key towns - Gloucester and Worcester - to provide a comprehensive picture of their respective developments throughout the medieval period. Only then can the crucial role played by the Church in shaping the spiritual social economic and cultural development of the urban environment be discovered.
