  • Summary

  • In this episode of Domesday Delving, we return to the medieval village of Lavenham, this time focusing on the lands once held by Wulfwine, an Anglo-Saxon thegn. After the Norman Conquest, these lands fell into the hands of the powerful Aubrey de Vere. Join me, Claire, as we uncover how Aubrey's strategic shifts in agriculture and resource management, including the mysterious addition of a vineyard, transformed Lavenham into a thriving estate. We’ll also explore how slavery began its evolution into serfdom under Norman rule and reflect on what this tells us about power, land, and social change in medieval England.
