A look at Medieval Sheffield through the 1378 Subsidy Rolls

- Medieval Sheffield (England) has very little direct written history. The 1378 Subsidy (tax) Rolls give us just a single snapshot of the people of Sheffield, their lives, names and occupations in that year and show how well developed iron working already was in the town.

Really appreciate this video, thank you for this :)
Very interesting. Thanks.
I love all these history videos. If they're not, they should be shown in the city's schools, first of all to late primary age children - 10/11 - continuing into secondary school. We are famous for so many things. Pupils should also learn where place/road names originate, how they became called what they are such as Furnival Gate, Pond Street, Norfolk Park, Graves Park etc, the list is endless.
i assume red city is a reference to the communist council
it i a very short heritage tour now ,most of the heritage is flattened by the labour council to foist their particular brand of modernisation, all we got is a hodgepodge of arty building with no identity ,Sheffield castle ruins are a prime example they have been buried under concrete buildings twice now and very likely will again now, ,whereas other cities open up ancient ruins to attract tourists ,the likes the sheffield airport built with a too shorter runway now all gone, billions of pounds of taxpayers money wasted ,the moor in Sheffield has had more face lifts than a movie star, all failed , the list is endless ,they should do a video on that to record in history
Grumpy chops.
@@anvilbrunner.2013 maybe such dismissive comments are the very reason we find we are where we are in this city , know little an care even less

@@anvilbrunner.2013 you can be as flippant as you like ,but the facts remain
@@rgsnr8702 A dynamic, vibrant city on the move, shan't bemoan bricks & mortar. I've got a highly ornate oak carved panel from Sheffield castle preserved on my kitchen wall. It's Stewart era; which means that even back then, was refurbishing & redecorating a face lift. Sheffield would never have become a city had the Serfs not been freed to own their means of production. We'll keep the red flag flying here.
