Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sieges dominated the English Civil Wars: one study suggests that for every major battle there were perhaps as many as eight sieges, and probably more than 200 towns, castles, and country homes in England were besieged. However, sieges and fortifications have long been the poor relation in the histories of the period. Whilst up and down the country, numerous siege-sites and fortresses are being studied by historians and archaeologists, so much of this is being done in relative isolation, and unlike the study of battles, seldom has there been an opportunity to bring this research together, to present and compare findings. To provide a forum for experts and the curious alike to share results and to learn from one another was a key driver behind the first ever conference dedicated to the study of fortress warfare during the English Civil Wars. Newark-upon-Trent was besieged three times during the English Civil Wars, and is home to perhaps the best surviving fortifications in the country. It was appropriate, therefore, that the town should host the English Civil War Fortress Symposium in November 2022. The co-hosts of the symposium, the Battlefields Trust, and the Fortress Study Group have both run their own conferences in the past, but this symposium was the first time that these two internationally renowned organisations have come together to stage a joint event. The success of the symposium was a recognition of the standing of both societies, as well as the efforts of the organisers. But most importantly, it was a demonstration of the interest in this important topic. The symposium brought together a variety of projects and studies covering the archaeology of sieges, fortifications and the public, and the challenges, approaches and results connected to the rediscovery and preservation of fortifications. The papers in this book of proceedings include: Peter Gaunt Keynote speaker Richard Leese Moreton Corbet David Flintham King's Lynn under siege Kevin Winter The sieges and fortifications of Newark-Upon-Trent Nick Arnold Uncovering a small fort in Devon David Radf - Defences and siegeworks of Oxford 35 b/w photos, 18 b/w illustrations, 7 b/w maps, 4 b/w diagrams, 1 table The symposium brought together a variety of projects and studies covering the archaeology of sieges, fortifications and the public, and the challenges, approaches and results connected to the rediscovery and preservation of fortifications.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Between 1639 and 1660, more than 1,000 places across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were fortified. These included towns and villages, castles and manor houses, as well as new places of strength. They ranged in complexity from the simple strengthening of existing medieval walls to the sophisticated re-fortification of major towns. Often overlooked in the context of European military engineering, and in terms of the so-called 'military revolution' of the period, the design and construction of the Civil War fortress progressed during the period, evolving from the basic ditch and rampart of the early years of the fighting to the massive stone-built citadels of the Protectorate. Over half of these so-called 'fortified places' witnessed some sort of military action, although it is wrong to conclude that the fortress warfare of the period was purely about sieges. The Town Well Fortified is a brand-new study which looks at the strategic and tactical importance of fortifications, and their influence on the respective war-efforts of all sides, particularly in terms of logistics, and the concept of 'protected corridors' which connected key locations, and dominated campaigns. The book also places the fortress in its geographical context, and considers how the local topography influenced placement and design. Given the years of peace enjoyed by much of the Three Kingdoms prior to the Civil Wars, it is no surprise that fortress construction was heavily influenced by European practice, although the fortified landscape prior to 1639, including a heritage stretching back as far as Roman times (and beyond), was also important. The design and construction of the fortifications is also considered, both in terms of the theory, especially from the military manuals of the time, and then the practice, including several contemporary and eyewitness accounts. The book also examines actual numbers, locations, and types of fortresses, including an assessment of the type of fort known as a 'sconce'. Secondary sources have been re-examined, and ongoing research, including recent archaeological investigations (which, among other things, consider just how earthworks were built) have been brought together in this ground breaking-study which offers a fresh interpretation of the subject of fortresses during the Civil Wars. The use of up-to-date research is reflected in the book's spotlight on the current and yet largely unpublished investigations at King's Lynn, London, and the Isle of Man. But the inclusion of findings from the Civil War Fortifications Register project ensures this book genuinely encompasses the whole of Britain and Ireland. This is the result of more than thirty years of research, including the author's thorough and on-going study of London's fortifications, the King's Lynn under Siege archaeological project, and the results from the development of a register identifying every place fortified during the Civil Wars across the entire British Isles. 70 b/w illustrations, maps & diagrams, 52 b/w photos, 9 tables This is a new study of the fortress during the British Civil Wars. It considers why more than one thousand places across the British Isles were fortified, evolving from the simple ditch and rampart to the massive citadels of the Protectorate. Based on years of research, this an important study on fortress warfare during the period. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
