The Norman Conquest, The Yorkshire Barons, Churches 
and Abbeys, Medieval Towns, The Tudors, The ete 
Modern Yorkshire. 
oS work has been compiled to assist the large number 
of persons—residents and visitors—who take interest 
in Castles, Abbeys, Churches, Battlefields, etc., but from 
want of a proper historical basis, fail as a rule to understand 
the allusfons and technicalities in the ordinary guide books. 
It will also help intelligent boys and girls who desire to study © 
the history of their County, on the lines advocated by the 
Board of Education. The book is the only one of a reason- 
able size which deals at all adequately with the history of 
Yorkshire as a whole. Many of the illustrations have 
been reproduced from photographs by Mr. Godfrey Bingley, 
Mr. A. C. Parry and Mr. R. Stockdale. Toseveral chapters, 
notes are appended to guide readers who might wish to 
extend their studies, and the value of the book is further 
enhanced by the provision of a very exhaustive Tee of 
names and places.
