Notes:
Deals with the grain supply to London at the turn of the 13th/14th centuries when the capital's medieval population was at its peak. Covers grain production and demand - scale and nature of London's demand, scale of grain production in London region and population level it could support, extent of provisioning zone, patterns of grain disposal - but also, although to a lesser extent, the grain market and its structure in a chapter 'Links between producers and consumers' [pp78-110]
