Gemma’s project is part of the Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) scheme, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Working in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) and Historic Royal Palaces (HRP), the project explores the interaction between London’s immigrant communities, the Crown, and the Tower of London in the Late Medieval and Tudor period. Through combining archival study of expenditure of the royal household with analysis of existing databases of Londoners, it aims to show the diversity of global goods and diverse craftspeople supplying them in London during this period.
