Bøger af Billy Colfer

Details the origins and growth of Wexford town since its establishment by the Vikings in the tenth century. This book examines the influence of the environment on the foundation, expansion and economic development of the town. It includes sections on medieval churches, town wall and castle, the 1798 Rebellion and 19th-century church expansion.

This illustrated volume examines the environmental and historical influences that contributed to the development of the rich natural and cultural landscapes on the Hook peninsula, county Wexford. The diverse elements of the modern landscape and its inhabitants are identified, analysed and placed in their historical context.

Billy Colfer's Wexford Castles expands the IRISH LANDSCAPES series by taking a thematic approach, while still staying loyal to the central landscape focus. Rather than adapting a narrowly architectural approach, he situates these buildings in a superbly reconstructed historical, social, and cultural milieu.
