Download or read book Medieval Town Walls written by Oliver Hamilton Creighton and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Download or read book City Walls written by James D. Tracy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-25 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays presented in this volume, first published in 2000, describe a phenomenon so widespread in human time and space that its importance is easily overlooked. City walls shaped the history of warfare; the mobilisation of manpower and resources needed to build them favoured some kinds of polities over others; and their massive strength, appropriately ornamented, created a visual language of authority. Previous collective volumes on the subject have dealt mainly with Europe, but the historians and art historians who collaborate here follow a comparative agenda. The millennial practice of wall building that branched out from the ancient Near East into India, Europe, and North Africa shows continuities and points of contact of which the makers of urban fortifications were scarcely aware; separate traditions in China, sub-Saharan Africa, and North America illustrate universal themes of defensive strategy and the symbolism of power, each time embedded in a distinctive local context.

Download or read book The Church in the Medieval Town written by T.R. Slater and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays explores the interaction of Church and town in the medieval period in England. Two major themes structure the book. In the first part the authors explore the social and economic dimensions of the interaction; in the second part the emphasis moves to the spaces and built forms of towns and their church buildings. The primary emphasis of the essays is upon the urban activities of the medieval Church as a set of institutions: parish, diocese, monastery, cathedral. In these various institutional roles the Church did much to shape both the origin and the development of the medieval town. In exploring themes of topography, marketing and law the authors show that the relationship of Church and town could be both mutually beneficial and a source of conflict.

Download or read book Fortified Settlements in Early Medieval Europe written by Neil Christie and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three contributions by leading archaeologists from across Europe explore the varied forms, functions and significances of fortified settlements in the 8th to 10th centuries AD. These could be sites of strongly martial nature, upland retreats, monastic enclosures, rural seats, island bases, or urban nuclei. But they were all expressions of control - of states, frontiers, lands, materials, communities - and ones defined by walls, ramparts or enclosing banks. Papers run from Irish cashels to Welsh and Pictish strongholds, Saxon burhs, Viking fortresses, Byzantine castra, Carolingian creations, Venetian barricades, Slavic strongholds, and Bulgarian central places, and coverage extends fully from northwest Europe, to central Europe, the northern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Strongly informed by recent fieldwork and excavations, but drawing also where available on the documentary record, this important collection provides fully up-to-date reviews and analyses of the archaeology of the distinctive settlement forms that characterized Europe in the Early Middle Ages.

Download or read book English and Irish Medieval Fortified Ecclesiastical Structures and the Bishop's Manor in Kilteasheen, Ireland written by Alex Helland and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research paper I compare Irish and English ecclesiastical fortified stone structures in the 13th century in order to isolate English stone mason influences. It examines the techniques used in the construction between the two types of stone structures by focusing on the materials used in the construction along with over-all architectural design of stone structures. Analysis of extant stone walls reveals the similarities and differences between the Irish and English ways of construction. The similarities and differences of these structures will perhaps show if the Irish copied English stone masons in their architectural designs, or if they improved on English designs by adding new techniques to their fortified stone structures. By examining the Bishop's Manor at the Kilteasheen site in Roscommon Co. along with the Kells Priory site in Kilkenny Co., Ireland, it will demonstrate early evidence of whether or not Irish copied the English or developed their own way of construction for their fortified stone structures.
