Description: Medieval Britain looks at buildings from manor houses, tithe barns and churches through to mighty castles and soaring cathedrals. It also examines evidence from deserted villages to create a picture of how people lived in the Middle Ages. Much of the evidence we have of past times comes from the buildings people left behind. Their homes and their villages and towns give us clues that help us find out about the way they lived. This series explores different periods of Britain history through our building heritage.
Notes: Includes index.
