Summary

Norman Land Changes explores the sweeping changes that followed the Norman Conquest, fundamentally reshaping England and Wales. It examines how William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings led to a complete restructuring of land ownership, the imposition of a new feudal system, and the overhaul of Anglo-Saxon legal frameworks. This wasn't a mere change of rulers, but a systemic revolution affecting everything from agriculture to justice. For example, the creation of the Domesday Book allowed for unprecedented control and assessment of conquered territories.

 
The book uniquely contrasts the pre-Norman Anglo-Saxon system with the new Norman order, detailing concepts like bookland and folkland to highlight the scale of change. It progresses chronologically, starting with the events leading up to 1066, then moves through land redistribution, the establishment of feudalism, and the transformation of the legal system.

 
The book’s strength lies in its accessible presentation of complex legal and historical concepts, making it valuable for anyone interested in medieval history and the foundations of English and Welsh society. Grounded in diverse primary sources, including the Domesday Book and manorial court rolls, the book offers a nuanced account of Norman rule and its consequences. It also considers the often-overlooked Welsh experience alongside the English, providing a broader perspective on the era's impact.

 
The analysis explores the long-lasting effects on language, culture, and political institutions, showcasing how the Norman conquest laid the groundwork for the medieval social and political order.

    Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard is a seminal work in the field of metaphysics and personal development, emphasizing the profound influence of emotions on the manifestation of desires. First published in 1944, this concise yet powerful book distills Goddard's teachings on the law of attraction and the creative power of the subconscious mind.Goddard's central thesis is that feelings are the key to unlocking the creative potential within each individual. He asserts that it is not enough to merely think about one's desires; one must also cultivate the corresponding feelings to bring these desires into reality. By aligning thoughts with emotions, individuals can effectively impress their desires upon the subconscious mind, which in turn shapes their external reality.The book is divided into four chapters:The Law and Its Operation:Goddard explains the fundamental principles of the law of attraction and the role of the subconscious mind in manifesting desires. He emphasizes that the conscious mind directs and the subconscious mind executes, making the feeling of the wish fulfilled essential for successful manifestation.Sleep:This chapter highlights the importance of the state of mind before sleep. Goddard advises using the moments before sleep to focus on positive emotions and desired outcomes, as this is when the subconscious mind is most receptive to suggestions.Prayer:Goddard redefines prayer as a feeling rather than a verbal request. He encourages readers to embody the feeling of their desires already being fulfilled during prayer, thereby creating a sense of certainty and inevitability.Spirit – Feeling:The final chapter delves deeper into the relationship between spirit and feeling. Goddard explores how emotions connect individuals to their spiritual essence and the universal creative power, reinforcing the idea that feeling is the secret to effective creation.Feeling Is The Secret is a timeless guide that empowers readers to harness their emotions and subconscious mind to create the life they desire. Its practical wisdom and clear instructions make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand and apply the principles of manifestation and the law of attraction.This book remains a cornerstone in the study of metaphysics and personal transformation, offering profound insights into the dynamic interplay between thoughts, feelings, and reality.

    A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph 
‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The Times 
Have you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road?  
For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. 
In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. 
Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil. 
Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets. 
In his latest work, The Road, Christopher Hadley delves into the historical and social aspects of Roman roads, enriching them with elements of mythology and folklore. His unique approach to historiography breathes new life into our understanding of past civilizations and their impact on our current geography. 
For fans of Matthew Green (Shadowlands), John Lewis-Stempel (Six Weeks), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), and Andrew Ziminski (Church Going).
