Today's popular view of medieval England is decidedly romantic, as if by recoiling from the harsh realities of the present we hope to find a safe refuge in the past. Accordingly, the Middle Ages conjure up a scenario of battlemented castles with lofty towers, knights in armour, courtly tournaments, noblemen hunting stags, ladies stitching tapestries, Gothic cathedrals whose soaring vaults resound to the chanting of psalms and parish churches clinging limpet-like to the face of the land, defying the passage of time.
