Wirral and Its Viking Heritage

P Cavill, S.E. Harding and J Jesch

This book is an attractive guide to the Viking impact on the Wirral. It includes classic illustrated essays from F. T. Wainwright, John McN. Dodgson, J. D. Bu’lock and W. G. Collingwood, on the history, art and names of the region. And the work is brought up to date by original contributions on recent developments in the history, archaeology, scholarly and popular interest in the Wirral. There are illustrations of Viking stonework, maps and photographs. It is completed by a gazetteer examining the origins of the major names, which also forms an index to the volume.
