Medieval Town Walls: An Archaeology and Social History of Urban Defence

Britain’s town walls have been neglected. For the first time the authors draw together a variet of evidence to reveal the chronologies, functions, structures and social significance of urban defences. They show that the walls and their related structures are a mixture of military pragmatism, commercial logic and symbolism. —- ISBN: 9780752414454 | ISBN10: 0752414453 | ISBN-13: 978-0752414454
