Shadowlands: A Journey through Lost Britain, by Matthew Green Shadowlands: A Journey through Lost Britain, by Matthew Green

Descriptions of frightening, savage warfare and murderous weapons now fill the mind, the reading of which is almost like a film, so potent is the events to the mind’s eye. Violent political unrest in the fifteenth century reduced the long-gone town of Trellech in South-East Wales to a desperate and starving village, just as the mighty first Edward, Hammer of the Scots and King of England turned his fire on Wales, decimating the country as he did. In 2017 a farmer found medieval treasures on his land in Wales, which pointed to the burial of a large city, which in turn pointed to the old city of Trellech. The area is huge and is still being investigated and the owner of the land is still convinced his land covers Trellech and is still digging.

A journey through the forgotten history of Britain

Khloe Kardashian reveals Tristan Thompson REFUSES to sell her his share of Palm Springs land they bought together... as Kourtney SLAMS his 'horrible' behaviour A beautiful book, truly original. Shadowlands is poetic history written with great literary flair, inqusitiveness, soul-searching and humanity . . . It is a marvellous achievement.’ Ian Mortimer , author of The Time Traveller’s Guide to Medieval England Shadowlands sets out to show, in Matthew’s words, how our country’s history is “shaped by absences”. The end result is a curious and haunting yet strangely uplifting alternative history of the British Isles. Just as striking is the removal of people from the island of St Kilda in 1930 even though these islands had been inhabited for over a thousand years. How in August 1930 the people were evacuated from the island, how they closed the public services, held their last church service before drowning their dogs of the only pier on the island. This being one of many stories of violence that appears throughout the book, not as glorification but mournful.

The location went through varying warm periods and cold ones, with the sea eventually claiming the town. “Astounding” British Soap Awards are CANCELLED: ITV make surprise announcement ceremony will not take place next year after Phillip Schofield stepped down Lori Loughlin, 59, and her lookalike daughter Olivia Jade, 24, are the 'perfect pair' in new Steve Madden campaign...four years after college admissions scandal
