For Simon Marchini - Monastic & episcopal toll privileges are probably your
best place to look for salt transport by the abbey of Burton-on-Trent. If
the abbey used the Trent, its men will have used rafts or the types of boats
described in Sean McGrail, Ancient Boats in N.W. Europe (London, 1987). I'm
not familiar with English material, so I can't help with information on
available sources.
