Description
Colchester boasts 2,000 years of history, making it one of Britain's most fascinating towns. This comprehensive history, written by a local expert, is the first full and concise account of Colchester to be published in over half a century.
The town's rich past spans from its Roman roots, when it was the site of a legionary fortress, to its later roles as a Saxon capital, Norman stronghold, and major cloth industry centre. From the tumultuous reigns of warrior queens to the struggles of the Civil War and the threat of invasion, Colchester has played a significant part in shaping England's history.
This authoritative work is well illustrated and written by a professional historian, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the town's past. With its engaging narrative and detailed insights, this book will become the standard reference on Colchester for years to come.
