This book guides the inquiring reader in identifying these remaining defensive structures and explains their seemingly 'random' placement across the British landscape.

A fully illustrated guide to and history of the castles of England and Wales in the late medieval period focusing on their roles in military and social history.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is a fascinating history of military concealment. Explaining the fascinating challenges of the new ways of warfare.
