Romans, Vikings, Chruches and Chocolate

By Maria Staal

Walking through the city of York, United Kingdom, you might think it is not possible to track down the town’s history in the modern streetscape. However, if you look a bit more closely you will see that it is still possible to recognise the Roman streets and soon you will not only imagine yourself in medieval times, but also find yourself roaming a Viking settlement and smelling the gunpowder from the Great Siege of 1644.

Romans, Vikings, Churches and Chocolate, reveals York’s fascinating history with the help of lots of pictures and maps. This is not a book with guided walks, but a book with which you can choose to discover your favourite historic period in your own time.
