I can thoroughly recommend it for making a complicated period intelligible in the context of the city and the visible evidence that remains.

Yet more “hidden” history that shaped this great city. I took the lazy way and read in the comfort of my own home, picturing the streets I’ve tramped over the last 20 years but with a siege back drop I’d never appreciated. Having done that, I’ll be back on the street for a second look at the detail I’ve missed. I’d recommend this to visitor and resident alike – it’ll be worth paying more than the asking price.

This is a little gem of a book. Evocatively written, it transports you back to the time around the siege of York, colouring in characters, places and events to help make the period come alive. Highly recommended to anyone with even a passing interest in York or the Civil War.
