Lincoln Castle Revealed Summary

Lincoln Castle Revealed: The Story of a Norman Powerhouse and its Anglo-Saxon Precursor by Jonathan Clark

This highly-illustrated book reveals a brand-new story of the royal castle of Lincoln - how it was imposed on the late Anglo-Saxon town and how it developed over the next 900 years in the hands of the king or his aristocratic associates. Today, we have been left a surviving monument of three great towers, each with its own biography.

Led by FAS Heritage, archaeologists, architectural historians and a large cohort of the general public have come together to produce a revealing and accessible account of the story of Lincoln Castle; in doing so, we gain further insight into the history, culture and society of medieval England.

Lincoln Castle Revealed Reviews

[T]he volume provides a much needed and significant addition to the panoply of published British urban castles (including Oxford and Norwich) and is a fine example of its type. * Speculum *
The book caters for the specialist and non-specialist alike ... It is lavishly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, maps, tables and reconstructions, making it a book to which the reader will want to keep going back ... A good benchmark for how a well-funded excavation should be presented to the public. * The Local Historian *
A book you'll want to return to again and again, as it takes you on a journey deep into the heart and soul of this most remarkable place. * Lincoln Archaeology *
The book is superbly balanced ... while the archaeology is explored in a good level of detail, the text retains an accessible and engaging style throughout that will appeal to a broad audience. Wonderfully illustrated with colour photos, maps and plans, this high quality volume represents a fitting tribute to one of Europe's most exceptional castles. * Lincolnshire Past & Present *
It's very good, accessible yet scholarly [...] The material on the prison is fascinating. * British Archaeology *
The text is written specifically to avoid specialist terminology (there is a glossary at the back) and to be intelligible to a wider readership. Full colour is used to stunning effect throughout, with as much emphasis on representations of the archaeological process as results. It is a real achievement to present such a comprehensive account so concisely as well as attractively. ... Visually stunning and combining communication of new primary research with a concise, accessible text, the volume is a model of its type and highly recommended. * Medieval Archaeology *
