Product Description

A well-written contribution to the literature on the subject, and will interest both the historically minded tourist and, as a reference book, the scholar. WAR IN HISTORY A comprehensive and concise guide to all medieval English castles of which something can still be seen today, ranging from the massive keeps which still dominate the landscape to grassy earthworks and Border pele towers, and spanning the centuries from the Norman Conquest to the accession of the Tudors. English Castles contains over five hundred main entries in county order, each giving a brief history and description of the castle. A short introduction supplies the historical background to the explosion of castle-building in the middle ages, and there is a glossary covering all aspects of castles in some detail. Full Ordnance Survey map references.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Castle Book, 29 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Adraian Pettifer is very modest in his introduction to his book. This is a very comprehensive guide to all the castles of England and the author has that rare knack of saying much in few words (would that more writers had!). There is an introductory essay on the history of castles followed by a county by county guide with a detailed description on each castle with notes on access and brief references. The counties are very firmly (and quite rightly) the "traditional" counties of England so don't expect the modern horrors of Humberside and the like to be listed. There is a very full and helpful glossary of terms and an index of sites with their OS reference: GPS owners take note! There are many plans and a short section of black and white photographs. If you are looking for atmospheric arty colour prints of Bodiam castle in the snow then this isn't the book for you! Perhaps some line drawings of the castles would have been a good idea but this is splitting hairs. Adrian Pettifer has recently produced a book on Welsh castles and I eagarly await a volume on Scottish ones. Thoroughly recommended.
