The National Trust Book Of British Castles by Paul Johnson. Ref: B1617

Title: The National Trust Book Of British Castles.
Author/Editor: Paul Johnson.
Synopsis: Beginning with the great Iron Age hill forts, the author traces each stage of the development of Britain's rich and varied collection of castles: how advances in the techniques of warfare were reflected in increasingly sophisticated methods of defence; the vital part played by the castle in social life - both as an expression of the political and economic conditions of the time or simply as a rather uncomfortable place in which to live; the gradual decay of the castle after its crucial role in the medieval and early modern peior; and ending with a chapter on the restoration of several important castles in the nineteenth century, as well as the building of some extraordinary mock ones.
