The History of Oxford

Before it became a university town, ‘the city of dreaming spires’, and eventually a centre of the motor industry, Oxford was an important Anglo-Saxon and medieval town. Come journey through its fascinating history with Dr Elizabeth Gemmill. Her research and teaching are in the field of medieval history. She is co-author with Nicholas Mayhew of Changing Values in Medieval Scotland: A Study of Prices, Money, and Weights and Measures (Cambridge University Press, 1995).

She has published a scholarly edition, Aberdeen Guild Court Records, 1437 – 1468 (Scottish History Society, 2005) and a monograph, The Nobility and Ecclesiastical Patronage in Thirteenth-Century England (Woodbridge: Boydell, 2013).
