Dan Jones: Castles - Augustine Hall - Canterbury Christ Church University

Discover a fortified history of the world told through over three thousand years of iconic strongholds with bestselling author of The Templars and Powers and Thrones , Dan Jones. Castles have been built to defend humanity for millennia - from the walls of Troy and the desert bastion of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria; to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London; to Himeji in Japan and the Maginot Line in the Second World War. Take a journey through centuries and across continents as Jones reveals an epic story of how humans first came to build fortifications and how they expanded into powerfully capturing our imagination. A limited number of £10 Under-30s tickets are available for this performance. Click here to find out more . Books will be sold at the talks and online by The Bookshop at Canterbury Christ Church University. For more information click here .
