ANTHONY EMERY, FSA, was a founder commissioner of English Heritage, 1984-90, and chairman of the Bath Archaeological Trust, 1994-2001. His business career was spent as chairman or senior director of several companies of Reed International plc, 1975-88. His previous publications include the monograph Dartington Hall (OUP, 1970) and the three-volume series, Greater Medieval Houses of England and Wales, 1300-1500. Anthony Emery lives in the Cotswolds near Bath and is now researching a modest architectural study on centres of power in England and Europe during the Hundred Years' War.
'Emery's exhaustive survey of the domestic architecture of England and Wales make a considerable contribution to our understanding of domestic architecture and should probe indispensable to scholars of England's built environment during the Middle Ages.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'The eagerly awaited and final volume of Anthony Emery's trilogy is now with us, and is as rich and lucid as its predecessors. This achievement of single-handed scholarship is prodigious and will stand for many years as a monument to Emery's application and skill and Cambridge University Press's vision and quality as pubkishers.' Journal of Medieval Archaeology
