Allen Brown's English Castles
Review - I really enjoyed this book. It delivers lots of interesting facts about the development of castles through thoroughly explained examples. I think it could have done with a glossary, as some of the terms used aren't common knowledge. It also focuses a lot on those castles with extensive remains generally, but neglects to really discuss any castles from the 15th century like Hever or Sudeley, and I'm guessing Fotheringay doesn't get a mention because there aren't really any ruins. The floor plans of the castles are also useful and give you a sense of the grandeur.
