The Sutton Companion to Castles

This is a book for the castle‐lover, the person who is drawn to Britain's often ruinous, fortified feudal residences of the Middle Ages. It is a book for the individual who, squinting up at a castle battlement, struggles (as I have often done) to make sense of the labyrinth of architectural terms in his or her guidebook. This attractive A‐Z of castle‐related terms is not really something that you can take on your visits to individual castles; it is quite a heavy hardback and far too nice a book to allow it to become dirty and dog‐eared by site visits....
