註釋"This book provides an up-to-date study of medieval town defences, mainly in England and Wales but with glances elsewhere, focusing on the period from the Norman Conquest to the English Civil Wars. Emphasis is placed on archaeology and topography but set within an historical framework. Due attention is paid to substantially surviving sites such as Canterbury, Conwy and York, but the extent to which defence extended to much smaller towns is also highlighted. Medieval Town Walls seeks to further understanding of the chronologies, functions and social significance of British town walls and offer an agenda for further academic study. A gazetteer guides the reader through the surviving remains, providing an aid to discovering Britain's urban walled heritage at first hand."--BOOK JACKET.
