| Abstract | A review of some recent work on the patronage of brick buildings in England and Anatolia, concentrating on issues of who paid for the work and how they were constructed. Two papers show the importance of finance to building projects, in the case of Great Yarmouth, a poor town in the Late Middle Ages, from outside sources, whilst that on Robert Darcy's buildings demonstrates the level of income needed in the 15th century to contemplate construction in brick. |
