Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""This survey offers a broad-ranging synthesis of the history and archaeology of Govan, Glasgow, and aims to inform conservation guidance for future development." "The burgh's origins in early Christian times are demonstrated by the remarkable and enigmatic series of carved stones contained in Govan Old Parish Church. This church remained a haven of tranquility during Govan's remarkable transformation, in less than a century, from a small riverside settlement to the centre of world shipbuilding." "Govan was, before being absorbed by Glasgow in 1912, the fifth largest burgh in Scotland. Synonymous with shipbuilding and advances in marine engineering that carry on to this day, the town bears evidence of its associated industries and the distinctive social institutions fostered by shipbuilding, like Elder Park and the Pearce Institute." "The town has benefited from recent archaeological investigation around Govan Old Parish Church, which has increased understanding of the early Christian roots of the burgh. The authors consider where other areas of archaeological potential he, to inform future management of Govan's historic environment, and pose questions about the evolution of Scotland's burghs in general." "This book forms part of the Scottish Burgh Survey - a series designed to identify the archaeological potential of Scotland's historic towns." "--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of relations between the kingdom of Strathclyde and Anglo-Saxon England in the Viking period of the ninth to eleventh centuries AD. It puts the spotlight on the North Britons or 'Cumbrians', an ancient people whose kings ruled from a power-base at Govan on the western side of present-day Glasgow. In the tenth century, these kings extended their rule southward from Clydesdale to the southern shore of the Solway Firth, bringing their language and culture to a region that had been in English hands for more than two hundred years. They played a key role in many of the great political events of the time, whether leading their armies in battle or forging treaties to preserve a fragile peace. Their extensive realm, which was also known as 'Cumbria', was eventually conquered by the Scots, but is still remembered today in the name of an English county. How this county acquired the name of a long-vanished kingdom centred on the River Clyde is one of the topics covered in this book.It is part of a wider history that forms an important chapter in the story of how England and Scotland emerged from the early medieval period or 'Dark Ages' as the countries we know today.
