- When the English nation rose out of the ruins of the Roman Province of Britannia, people remained obsessed with their Roman past. Seismic social and political change in 1066 barely upset the vision of patrons and architects and Rome remained England's cultural capital driving the imagination of its architects.
This is a part if the series of lectures, 'God, Caesar and Robin Hood: How the Middle Ages were Built':
The English Middle Ages saw the construction of some of the world's greatest buildings, structures that still shape our towns, cities and countryside and mould our national identity. These four lectures give a controversial new view of how medieval England was built starting with the departure of the Romans and ending with the Reformation.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

Wasn't able to watch, only listen. I still enjoyed the lecture very much. Thank you for posting it.
This is a brilliant lecture. Informative as it was said before and impressive at the same time. Thank you very much!
Good question!
No, it's not a picture of Westminster Abbey; it's actually a Norman abbey in France, Jumièges.
Apologies for our edit of the lecture making this rather misleading at that point!
This Simon Thurley is outstanding! What a wonderful mind;
combined with charisma, spot on visual presentation and on a subject area that is to my knowledge often overlooked.
As a Novice Writer of Medieval History, I am passionate about vividly creating the World of which I am writing about. This helped so much.
A fascinating and informative lecture, presented in an exuberant but meticulous manner - wonderful !
I love this time period. Another great Gresham lecture. Thanks
Very helpful. Filled in a gap I had no idea even existed! (Blame Lord Macaulay for that - "huts of a miserable peasantry".) Thanks for posting.
it was brilliant, thank you so much! need more
"Edward the Confessor, the last Saxon King", what of Harold Godwinson?
He shouldve won
According to Jones` Geographical Grammar 1772 The best preserved Roman building called Arthur`s Oven once stood in Scotland and was torn down in 1700 the stones of the Roman building being used to build a dam .
thank you for sharing this amazing content
Thank you for uploading.
A very interesting lecture. I thank you.
What a fantastic lecture.
wonderful
Brilliant lecture. One question: 33:19 is that Westminster Abbey??
Wont evolution force u to change it that way since it the most practical way of building?
Was Bede really England's first historian? Surely other monks or scholars wrote things down in the 250-odd years between Rome and Bede.

Rome was not really the centre of the Christian world. The Pope was one of the Patriarchs of the Church . Antioch Jerusalem Alexandria had been the older Patriarchates and later Constantinople.
The connection was not really lost. An Archbishop of Canterbury was from Antioch and made very great changes to the AngloSaxon Church Theodore of Tarsus. 668. Though from the East he was sent by the Bishop of Rome to take over Canterbury.
