Abstract
AbstractThis paper discusses the results of an historical-topographical survey of the street plan of Warwick. This has been undertaken in conjunction with a review of the archaeological evidence and the results have been compared with similar evidence from other sites. The survey revealed a rectilinear street plan within defences of sub-rectangular shape. It is suggested that such a regular layout is the result of town planning in the late Saxon period, simultaneollsly with or shortly following the establishment of the burh by Aethelfleda, ‘Lady of the Mercians’, in 914.
