Stoyle, Mark

(Book #ID 111113)

Published by University of Exeter Press, Reed Hall, Streatham Drive, Exeter First Edition 2014. 2014.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original slate blue cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered copper back and front, cyan blue end papers. 4to. 11'' x 8¼''. The city of Exeter was one of the great provincial capitals of late medieval and early modern England, possessing a range of civic amenities fully commensurate with its size and importance. Among the most impressive of these was its highly sophisticated system of public water supply, including a unique network of underground passages. Most of these ancient passages still survive today. Water in the City provides a richly illustrated history of Exeter's famous underground passages-and of Exeter's system of public water supply during the medieval and early modern periods. Illustrated with full colour throughout, Mark Stoyle shows how and why the passages and aqueducts were originally built, considers the technologies that were used in their construction, explains how they were funded and maintained, and reveals the various ways in which the water fountains were used and abused by the townsfolk. Contains (xx), 299 pp with 101 colour and monochrome illustrations and archive photographs throughout, 10 colour maps. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused new book.
