Overview of Medieval Towns in England by Spamela Spamderson is a document available to read on EtoBox.

During the Middle Ages, most people lived in rural areas, with towns being relatively small and few in number. Urban records provide valuable insights into medieval life, highlighting the blurred lines between towns and villages, as well as the varying fortunes of towns throughout the period. While some towns thrived, particularly in trade and commerce, others declined significantly, with London emerging as the dominant urban center by the end of the Middle Ages.
