  Situated on the Bishop of Winchester's land, and a source of some profit for the Church, the Bankside brothels attracted many and helped to make Southwark the pleasure-garden of London. This book links the brothels with events and personalities familiar to every student of English history, more importantly, however, the author delves into contemporary source material to produce a chronicle of a country's changing sexual climate.
