Clocks became common in late medieval Europe and the measurement of time began to rule everyday life. God's Clockmaker is a biography of England's greatest medieval scientist, a man who solved major practical and theoretical problems to build an extraordinary and pioneering astronomical and astrological clock. Richard of Wallingford (1292-1336), the son of a blacksmith, was a brilliant mathematician with a genius for the practical solution of technical problems. Trained at Oxford, he became a monk and then abbot of the great abbey of St Albans, where he built his clock. Although as abbot he held great power, he was also a tragic figure, becoming a leper. His achievement, nevertheless, is a striking example of the sophistication of medieval science, based on knowledge handed down from the Greeks via the Arabs.

Setting out from the well-loved local landmark in Oxfordshire known as the Wittenham Clumps, Peter Adamson discovers hidden landscapes - historical, cultural, biographical and scientific that take us further than the eye can see. A remote and tranquil farmhouse is revealed to be the place where one of the greatest of all war poems was written. The story behind an innocent hedgerow ends up in the Punjab. A remarkable field guide to our sense of place and its hidden histories.
