Marc Morris
Talk
- Castles in Britain, 1066–1500
- The Great Hall
- Saturday 6 October
- 15.00–16.00
Castles are the most popular and prominent monuments in Britain, but also perhaps the most misunderstood. Always associated with sieges, battering rams and boiling oil, they actually fulfilled a much broader range of functions. Marc’s talk will explore what castles were really for.
