There are a few surviving fourteenth and fifteenth century medieval buildings still standing in Dartford today, most notably in Bullace Lane (fronting onto the High Street) and at the junction of Overy Street and the foot of East Hill. The large jettied medieval building close to Holy Trinity church at the junction of High Street and Bullace Lane dates from the fifteenth century. The house was owned by John Groveherst. It was originally made up of a principal hall or apartment measuring 25 x 20 feet, the walls of which were hung with tapestries said to be woven by the nuns of Dartford Priory.

In one of the first action role-playing games (RPG) where players must rely solely on magic, Dawn of Magic will throw fans into the midst of a medieval world on the brink of destruction. Players will choose either to protect the medieval world from total annihilation, help aid in its destruction, or attempt to remain neutral in the struggle with almost limitless spell possibilities.

A "Dawn Song" is a standard Medieval form common in Provence, France, and Germany, in which a pair of lovers lament the coming of the dawn, which means that they must part. Often the woman is married, but that does not seem to be the case here. What evidence is there, at least, that this couple is not married to each other?

Medieval life was uncertain, and families were often on the move: fleeing from conflict, or traveling to lend support to the warlord of their choice. Journeying from one dark, draughty castle or medieval manor to another, their possessions needed to be portable, and needed to provide maximum protection from the bleak northern European winters.

James sold the Radio Tokyo studio in 1989 to concentrate on a newfound infatuation with the hurdy-gurdy, a medieval instrument that sounds like a cross between a violin and bagpipes. He spent much of the 1990s playing and recording medieval music and released a series of albums of hurdy-gurdy music. "He became the hurdy-gurdy guy in L.A. for a while", Ginn said. James ... performed a piece Mozart composed for the instrument with the San Francisco Mozart Festival Orchestra.

Frosts were a major worry for Medieval peasants as just one severe frost in the growing season could kill off your crop. Seeds were especially vulnerable to frosts. The impact of a bad frost could leave a family or village without a crop for the year.
