Medieval Living

In my last post I mentioned the work of Frances and Joseph Gies, who have written several books regarding life in Medieval times. I also found an online resource that might be of interest to homeschool families. Also in Cambridgeshire is the village of Grantchester. Professor Frans ven Liere of Calvin College of Grand Rapids Michigan, has taken Grantchester and used it as a backdrop for a quick study in the manorial system during the 12th and 13th centuries. While not very detailed, Grantchester Medieval Village does give an overview of the role of the manor, the church, and the fields as they pertain to life in the Medieval era.
There is also a link to the modern day Grantchester, which includes a digital version of the British A to Z road map – I had not seen this yet, so for me, its a great find.
