Reviews for Newcastle and Northumberland: Roman and Medieval Architecture and Art

...brings together an interesting collection of work on the buildings and archaeology of NE England. The balance of papers is fairly equally spread between castles and churches of the high Middle Ages... ...offer considerable insight into the self-perception of the Benedictine community. Far more broad-ranging is Philip Dixon's paper, usefully mapping the changing types of medieval fortification across the northern counties... ...the papers are all well written, but clearly aimed at fellow experts... -- Deirdre O'Sullivan Archaeological Journal
