This is a beautifully illustrated book which explores the city through the ages and looks at the activities of the people who contributed to its intriguing story. Numerous archaeologists and historians have attempted to throw light on those lives and the author has drawn widely from their work, as well as his own, as well as using the surviving historic fabric of the city. Life in a late medieval city, Chester 1275–1520 by Jane Laughton.

Towards a model of Roman society in Cheshire: first to third centuries AD. This speculative essay by our member Dr Peter Carrington uses a variety of current models of Roman demography and frontier society to seek to understand the size, composition and function of the canabae of the Chester legionary fortress; the development of the surrounding area as a supporting hinterland; and its social and economic trajectory.
