London: A Very Local History

The History of London Pt. 2


Listen Later

We begin part two of our history of London on a date you may know - yes, it’s 1066 - but what did the Norman conquest mean for the city? The iconic Domesday book gets done, giving us some of the first written records of people and places. There’s also plague, the London Stone (you’ll have to look it up), the establishment of the guild system, the peasants are revolting AND a couple of notable episodes to do with gunpowder and a REALLY big fire.
