A beautifully illustrated, detailed account of all 56 parish churches recorded in Norwich by AD 1200, of which 31 remain standing. Examines each church from a variety of viewpoints – archaeological, architectural, art historical and antiquarian, in the historical context of the development of Norwich from the 10th to the mid-16th centuries.
Explores the relationship between built environments, collective identities and political agency and the potential conflicts arising from competing or alternative social uses of the space, with case studies from ancient Egypt, Neo-Assyrian Nimrud and Hellenistic cities through Africa to the American south-west, Mexico, Peru and Southeast Asia.
