Landscapes of the Norman Conquest

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

After 1066 England’s new rulers from Normandy remade towns and countryside through an unprecedented redistribution of land. Covering castles, abbeys, churches and cathedrals built in Romanesque style, planned settlements, royal hunting restrictions and fortified border zones such as the Welsh Marches, the study traces how military power, religious building and estate control left marks still visible nearly a millennium later.
