Book description

A study of the financing, maintenance and construction of medieval bridges uncovers much about law and power at the time.

Reviews

Refreshingly original.'

Source: Northern History

An important contribution to our understanding of the development of the English laws relating to bridge building and maintenance from Anglo-Saxon times to the final decades of the fourteenth century. Provides some fascinating insights into the very different approaches to governance of the Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman kings. [...] An interesting and informative book.'

Source: The Medieval Review

The issues raised are important in the context of the subject, and their larger significance is evident. The evidence is well marshalled and problems with it are fully discussed both in the text and in the extensive notes. The arguments are cogent and persuasive. The writing is clear, uncluttered, and occasionally funny. All in all, this was a joy to read.'
