The western suburb of medieval Dublin : its first century

Auteur :
DUDDY, C.

Description :
Situated to the west of the walled city, the western suburb of medieval Dublin was in its embryonic stages of development during the last decades of the 12th and throughout the 13th century. The first signs of westward expansion were the laying out of burgage plots in the area immediately outside the western mural-gate. This suburb experienced subdivision of plots soon afterwards. The first move toward this planned development of a western suburb was to found St Thomas's Priory in this western area in 1177.
