Castles and Monasteries

In ‘Middle Age Corporations’, we look at the castles and monasteries which kept the country going during the wars of the later Middle Ages, revealing how they shaped the landscape we still live in today. We also look at the gradual carving up of the British countryside, asking why some houses survived while others were destroyed.
