Talk on the Ventures of Robert Stuffyn, 14th Century Wool Merchant
The Buttermarket, Middle Gate, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1AL
Given this year's HODs themes of Routes - Networks - Connections, this talk gives a chance to explore some of the connections and networks established by merchants in Newark. In particular, the cloth trade was crucial to Newark's wealth in the Middle Ages, with Flemish cloth merchants coming to Newark to help grow the industry and merchants or their agents travelling to the continent to facilitate the cloth trade.
