Town Defences in England and Wales

An architectural and documentary study AD 900-1500

Hilary L. Turner

A very full introduction to medieval town defences. Particularly good for many references to primary sources. This book based on her doctor thesis was written during a period when a military view of fortifications was at its height and this does show but Turner does cover the many other functions and aspects of medieval town walls and defences.
