The conversion to Christianity of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia left huge marks on the area, both metaphorical and literal. Drawing on both the surviving documentary sources, and on the eastern region's rich archaeological record, this book presents the first multi-disciplinary synthesis of the process. It begins with an analysis of the historical framework, followed by an examination of the archaeological evidence for the establishment of missionary stations within the region's ruinous Roman forts and earthwork enclosures. It argues that the effectiveness of the Christian mission is clearly visible in the region's burial record, which exhibits a number of significant changes, including the cessation of cremation. The conversion can also be seen in the dramatic upheavals which occurred in the East Anglian landscape, including changes in the relationship between settlements and cemeteries, and the foundation of a number of different types of Christian cemetery. Ultimately, it shows that far from being the preserve of kings, the East Anglian conversion was widespread at a grassroots level, changing the nature of the Anglo-Saxon landscape forever. Dr Richard Hoggett is currently Coastal Heritage Officer with Norfolk County Council.

This is the full colour version of a detailed and intensively researched technical report that literally rewrites the local history of a substantial area of Norfolk, with over 80 original illustrations dealing with elements of past and present vehicular highway law in England and Wales and its specific application to the locality. It examines some of the responsibilities of a highway authority and several of the shortcomings of the Norfolk Highway Authority in particular. Highlighted is a number of the resultant 'lost', obstructed but still legally active ancient routes in, around and through the Halvergate marshes including its immediate environs within south east Norfolk. The report concludes with specific recommendations made in the light of recent changes in the law that are intended to generate public consideration and discussion.
