At Westminster Abbey there were crises in 1433-4, 1457-8, 1463-4 and 1478-9. Evidence from the monastic community of Christ Church, Canterbury, records major epidemics in 1457,1471 and 1487. 14 Occasionally these epidemics had sufficient impact to cause regional or local economic crises. The best example of this yet identified is the severe northern crisis of 1438-40 caused by a 'great pestilence' combined with poor harvests and famine.
