Get to know Britain through 100 special places In 100, carefully
selected places, BBC History Magazine editor Dave Musgrove takes us
on an unforgettable historical tour through British history, from
the Roman invasion to 1960s Liverpool. Musgrove has asked foremost
British historians such as Dominic Sandbrook, to nominate the sites
they believe to be the most important in our history, and has
travelled to each place to provide a visitor's point of view
alongside the captivating stories that make each one great.
Covering the length and breadth of the British mainland and two
thousand of years of history, 100 Places that Made Britain visits
renowned sites such as the Tower of London and Runnymede, as well
as less well-known places like Rushton Triangular Lodge in
Northamptonshire - a three-sided, three-themed house built during
the Reformation and designed to represent the Holy Trinity - and
Jarrow, home of the first chronicler of Anglo-Saxon Britain, The
Venerable Bede. Each essay adds another layer to our understanding
of Britain's story, whether it be an advance in politics, religion,
law or culture. Bringing the vast history of this small island to
life, 100 Places that Made Britain is a captivating historical
compendium that will have every reader criss-crossing the country
to explore its myriad treasures.
