I am writing a series of articles about Milton Abbas during the reign of Edward II 1307 – 1325 and trying to discern what life was like for the people living here 700 years ago. Milton Abbas was a very important market town at the time having the third largest number of tax payers in Dorset.

The first article is about the homes of the peasants. Click here to open it.
