Late-medieval houses as an expression of social status*

Abstract

Houses are one of the glories of late medieval England. Several hundred of them survive, extending from complete residences to interesting remnants subsumed in later homes. They are a reflection of the social and political aspirations of their owners and can give an indication of the scale and form of their households. This article considers how these were translated into building programmes through courtyard expansion, the trappings of defence and the development of private suites, as well as by new domestic forms such as lodging ranges and residential tower-houses.
