Excerpt from Military Architecture in England During the Middle Ages Renaissance period. It will be seen that the castle is taken as the unit of military architecture throughout; but illustrations are constantly drawn from walled towns, which are, in fact, the castles of communities, and in the eleventh chapter extended allusion is made to the chief features of their plan and defences. In speaking of the walled town, however, as the castle of the community, it must not be forgotten that the castle is, in its origin, the stronghold of a single owner. That origin is still to some extent a vexed question; for the well-known theory of Mr G. T. Clark, that the castle of Norman times was identical with the bur/z of the Saxon Chronicle, was accepted as a dogma by the antiquaries of twenty-five to fifty years ago, and a theory thus established, however precipitately, is not easily shaken. The patient and thorough work of Mrs Armitage, which deserves the admiration of every scholar, has done much to disturb the foundations on which Mr Clark built his hypothesis; and Mr Neilson, Dr Round, Mr St John Hope, and others, have contributed their share to the discovery Of the real character of the evidence, and the formulation of a sounder theory. The present writer has devoted much time to the study of the original authorities for Saxon and Norman military history, and it is his conviction that the weight of documentary evidence is entirely upon the side of the views upheld with so much ability and originality by these recent investigators. At the same time, the earthworks of early castles still present several difficult problems; and the discredit into which Mr Clark's theory has fallen is a warning against the too confident acceptation ofthe conclusions of a more critical age, and against the danger Of forcing exceptions into the service of the rule.

"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.

This original and pioneering book examines the role of the castle in the Norman conquest of England and in the subsequent administration of the country. The castle is seen primarily as an instrument of peaceful administration which rarely had a garrison and was more often where the sheriff kept his files and employed his secretariat. In most cases the military significance of the castle was minimal, and only a very few ever saw military action. For the first time, the medieval castle in England is seen in a new light which will attract the general reader of history and archaeology as much as the specialist in economic and social history.
