Review :
'This volume highlights the scholarship and teaching of Tom James, advancing study of the material past in England's buildings, artefacts and gardens, in ways that celebrate Tom James' contribution as a scholar of great places such as Clarendon Palace, and teacher at the University of Winchester'. Dr Adrian Green, Durham University 'The papers offer a useful collection of studies addressing medieval and later themes and topics. All are based on primary research and the volume as a whole makes a significant contribution to understanding of the physical and historical questions addressed in individual contributions'.
