I'm looking for documentation on 14th century market stalls, such as the cobbler's booth depicted in the Eye Witness Book, "Medieval Life". I have been told there are some surviving stalls of that type at ChristChurch Cathedral in Dublin, but I've seen no photos. Any ideas on sources?
(Edited the title for clarity as this turns out to be a 15th, not 14th c. design)

Woodcrafter, Thanks for the reply. Regardless of whether this stall is 14th or 15th c., I would really like to document it. Any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As fot the illumination you posted... I have seen it before, but I shie away from that style on the basis that it looks to much like the carport tents that are way to common at the local Ren Faire. -------------------- ---------------------------

Well, the need to act overtook my desire for documentation. I built a version of this market stall for a living history presentation at our local Highland Games.
I'm still hoping to document/refine the design, so any help is still appreciated.

Jean le tavernier is what that booth is based on, or at least there is one identical to that in the MSS. 1458-60Rested against the town wall, Burgundian. The woman sells fish. can't find any pics on line at present, yes I can forgive the long link

Amhlaidgh, that is a nice recreation of the 15thc market stall.The 'Eyewitness' book, probably by accident, gives both examples of stalls (14th/15th). It is disheartening to hear that some people use modern carport tents as medieval market stalls, when they could go that little extra distance to make it so much more accurate. -------------------- Woodcrafter

I don't think the Eyewitness book did that by accident. It was intended as a general subject treatment for kids, not as source material for reenactors. Using carport tents sticks in my craw. At ren fairs, I don't really care, they usually are not even trying for peri-oid, so let em' have their carports and furry bikinis... It's what they like. Now my group does use them as well... (wince- it's the fruit of being the only fish in a small pond. We're in Alaska) The justification being that they are for our museum displays as opposed to our living history presentations, but it still gets me. Which is why I built the market stall. -------------------- ---------------------------
