The Gatehouse. The comprehensive listing of medieval fortifications and castles in England and Wales.

Castles

An illustrated guide to 80 castles of England and Wales

Charles W. C. Oman


An old text, dating back to 1928, by a noted scholar of the time. This book is much admired by some but I have to say I find it dated, limited and the writing style somewhat patronising. I only really include it in this bibliography for it's historic interest as a early 20th century example of a gazetteer of castles and because it was a text from which later, better gazetteers drew some inspiration.
