The Medieval Churches of the City of Norwich
The Medieval Churches of the City of Norwich - published by HEART and designed and edited by East Publishing - reveals the city's compelling ecclesiastical set, celebrating the churches as medieval works of art, as valuable social documents and as ancient places of prayer. Author Nicholas Groves, an acknowledged authority on the subject, describes in rich detail the 31 surviving medieval churches in Norwich city centre, as well as many lost since the Reformation. Contemporary photography and fascinating archive material capture the churches' history, architecture, stained glass, monuments and other exquisite features. Many of the contemporary photographs were entries in HEART's medieval churches photography competition in 2009: they reflect the many ways the buildings are viewed and valued by local people today. Includes material from interviews by Christina Lister, who met people associated with each of the 31 churches. This new book is a follow-up to the award-winning and very popular Norwich 12 guidebook, published by HEART in 2008.

Lancaster
In 1841, the Republic of Texas was on the brink of bankruptcy, and it needed to attract new immigrants in order to survive. With this important goal in mind, in 1844 the Texas congress authorized the republics president, Sam Houston, to contract with individuals to colonize the state. In September of that same year, one group headed by Capt. Roderick Rawlins from Illinois came to Texas and settled in what would become the town of Lancaster. Farmers grew grains and cotton, and Lancaster became a trade center with a lively town square. A commercial club organized in order to coordinate advertising for local businesses, and it also held trade days that later became town fairs. Local residents worked hard all week and enjoyed horse races, baseball, forty-two parties, music performances, and other entertainment on the weekends. By the late 1800s, Lancaster was connected to the rest of the state by the railroads, but the town still retained its independent, small-town Texas character.
Viking Migration and Settlement in East Anglia
This book shows how analysis of Scandinavian-influenced place-names in their landscape contexts can provide crucial new evidence of differing processes of Viking migration and settlement in East Anglia between the late ninth and eleventh centuries. The place-names of East Anglia have until now received little attention in the academic study of Viking settlement. Similarly, the question of a possible migration of settlers from Scandinavia during the Viking period was for many years dismissed by historians and archaeologists – until the recent discovery by metal-detectorists of abundant Scandinavian metalwork and jewellery in many parts of East Anglia. David Boulton has synthesised these two...
