Mark Morris's Castle and unfinished Beaumaris

The review introduces Mark Morris's Castle through its rich illustrations and the gap between planned and completed Beaumaris.

Notes

Mark Morris's Castle is introduced as an illustrated guide to castles in medieval Britain. Its photographs and reconstructions move quickly among Scottish and English examples before settling on Beaumaris. One image shows the concentric fortress its builders intended, while another reveals how much of the scheme remained unfinished. The comparison helps readers distinguish the architect's plan from the surviving building.
