Medieval Town Walls cover

Britain's town walls have been neglected. For the first time the authors draw together a variety 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.
