The comprehensive gazetteer of the medieval fortifications

Post by marcsdigs »

Wonderful site FULL of information........

This site is designed to be a comprehensive listing of the medieval castles, castle sites, fortified houses, urban and coastal defences and other fortifications of England and Wales built or in use from 1000 to 1600. It's not a history of castles and users of the site are expected to have a basic understanding of castles and medieval England and Wales. The site is a resource for those interested in castles studies both professional and amateur. It is probably of more interest to the archaeologist than the historian. It is unlikely to be of much interest to the genealogist.

Maps of the Castles and Fortified Manor Houses of England and Wales.
Maps of Early Castles.
Maps of the Medieval Fortifications in Wales.
Maps of the Fortified Towns and Villages of England and Wales.
Maps of the Artillery Fortifications of England and Wales.
Maps of Bastles and Pele Towers of Northern England.
Maps of places granted a licence to crenellate.

the good thing is that even if my site was to go for any reason its archived bythe British Library twice a year so will still be accessible - so his work will remain online for years to come
