The secondary sources exist from which to construct a fairly continuous record of the money wage-rates of building craftsmen and labourers in southern England, typically in Oxford, from the later thirteenth century to the present day. Some apology is due for piecing and patching with secondary sources, when the primary materials are probably there for more detailed and solid work; but the magnitudes and epochs of the main movements are not in doubt, and the results which can be won from what is immediately accessible seem worth setting out for the sake of their grand perspective. The changes of seven centuries can be surveyed together in Fig. 1, and are set out period by period in Fig. 2. The data are in Table I
