Sadly, the eight new stories in this aren't nearly as good as the lore they were inspired by from English Heritage sites, which is included in the back in its own section. Only two of them really worked, personally, with the rest feeling slightly 'writing exercise-y', while the introduction and the section of sites' histories and tales at the back were much more interesting.
