   • Prehistory (Before AD 43) Prehistory is the time before written records. It’s the period of human history we know the least about, but it’s also the longest by far.
   • Romans (AD 43–c.410) In 55–54 BC, Julius Caesar arrived on the shores of Britain, but thanks to guerrilla resistance and bad weather, his conquest was not successful.
   • Early Medieval (c.410–1066) The six and a half centuries between the end of Roman rule and the Norman Conquest are among the most important in English history.
   • Medieval (1066–1485) Duke William of Normandy’s resounding triumph over King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 marked the dawn of a new era. The overthrow of the Saxon kingdom of England was to transform the country the Normans conquered, from how it was organised and governed to its language and customs – and perhaps most visibly today, its architecture.
