Abstract	This panel will focus on specific aspects of late medieval urban life: the declining role of Nottingham’s guild of St George, and the members' response; the practical business of urban governance within the shared rights and privileges of the confederation of the Cinque Ports; and the career and network of an unsuccessful London merchant, Richard Arnold, as set out in 'Arnold's Chronicle', which also represents the first printed merchants' handbook.
