Inhaltsangabe

From the observatory in Greenwich where the modern measurement of time began, to England’s oldest inn, carved into the sandstone in Nottingham, historic sites across England have been hotbeds of invention, industry, and creativity for centuries. In 2017, Historic England launched a campaign designed to celebrate these remarkable places and their role in shaping the nation and the world. The product of this campaign, this book tells the history of England through the historic sites scattered all over the country.
            Guided by public nominations and a panel of expert judges—including Robert Winston, Mary Beard, and David Olusoga, among others—this book compiles one hundred places where remarkable things have happened that helped to mold the collective identity of England, impacting everything from the nation’s music, literature, and scientific discovery to issues of power, protest, and progress. Beautifully illustrated with archival and contemporary images throughout, this is a unique history of a nation and its landmarks chosen and told by the people of England.
