Author Colin Platt added immeasurably to the resources of Medieval scholars when he wrote this book. Following his previous works on Medieval Parish Churches, the Medieval Town, and the Castle, the work gives a detailed and comprehensive history - heavily illustrated with photographs of existing and ruined sites - of the noble and ecclesiastical buildings of the period. Despite Platt's focus on the architecture, one should not expect a dry and technical rendering of this vaulting and that buttressing. Platt wastes almost no time blathering about engineering, construction technology, and design features - except as they reflect prevailing socio-political attitudes and actions. The author delves deep into the convoluted and quarrelsome currents of life in post-Conquest England, giving the reader an authentic and memorable experience of the time and place. Especially valuable is his discussion of the aggressive incursion of Norman religious orders, with their many advantaging relationships to the Conqueror, into English religious life. The effect of these orders was vast, from displacing Anglo-Saxon saints to re-articulating architecture, but not always either beneficial or long-lasting, until at last a true fusion of French initiatives and Anglo-Saxon sensibilities produced the justifiably famous and unique English religious house.
