About this product
Product Information
Fortifications were an important part of all ancient towns. A town wall was not just a security feature, it was also a status symbol, an architectural assertion of the independence of the townspeople, and a celebration of their wealth and industry. Walls were not the only civic constructions, however, and towns were typified as much by streets and markets, houses and workshops, churches and castles, hospitals and quays as they were by defences. John Bradley traces the development of walled towns in Ireland between AD 700 and 1700; from the first stirrings of urban life at monastic settlements in the seventh century, to the port towns established by the Vikings in the ninth and tenth centuries, right throught to the Anglo-Norman towns of the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and finally the plantation towns of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He gives us a detailed account of the buildings, defences, layout and characteristic features of these urban centres over the centuries, as well as some insight into the daily lives and occupations of the inhabitants. Towns featured include Dublin, Armagh, Kilkenny, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Kells, Drogheda, Athenry, Derry and Coleraine. The book contains a glossary, a select bibliography and an index.

- u***q (565)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI buy from this seller all the time and believe them to be the best of the BIG second-hand UK sellers. Comms are excellent and they respond quickly and make a real effort to resolve issues. Pricing is good and descriptions accurate and fair. Postage is free so there won't be any extra packing but I've never had a problem with items damaged in transit.
- c***4 (201)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book arrived in perfect condition well packaged. It was a couple of days later than promised but I think this was a PO problem rather than the seller. A good price and as described. When the seller was contacted as the book had not arrived they immediately replied - could not fault. Would use this seller again.
