What reading level is A History of Berkshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still, while William reigned, he let no one rule but him- self. His feudal followers he governed as sternly as the conquered Saxons. It was only after his death that the Barons broke loose from the restraint he imposed by his own strong rule. ' Stark he was, ' says the English chronicler, ' to men that withstood him ; none dared resist his will. Earls that did aught against his bidding he cast into bonds ; Bishops he stripped of their bishopricks, and abbots of their Abbacies. But stern as his ...rule was, it gave peace to the land. '* With peace had come, too, an exten- sion of ecclesiastical architecture. The Saxons had done little in this way, or at least their churches, if not of wood, had been small and plain, or rude. Lysons seem to be in doubt whether some of the so-called Norman fonts may not be of this time, and there is possibly Saxon work in the *' Proc. Berks Archaeol. Soc.
The Saxon Conquest. 87 tower of Wickham. Still, since there are fifty-six churches mentioned in ' Domesday ' as existing in Berkshire at that date (1083-10S6), a large number of these must have been of Saxon construction, though probably the whole were enlarged, altered, or improved by the new-comers, who left few unquestionable traces of the old work.
