I am very interested in England between 1050 and 1200, particularly the late Anglo-saxon period and the crusades but am interested across the whole period. Has anyone got any good books, podcasts, documentaries or other media which is both accurate and approachable and engaging for a non-academic person with an interest in this period?
I really like The History of English podcast, very well done and interesting. It is primarily focused on the English language but you cant talk about the language without the history of the period. You would have to find that time period using the descriptions but the whole thing is interesting.
In a very general way I recommend The Age of Faith by Will (and possibly Ariel) Durant. It is part of the series The Story of Civilization. It is very general, and gives a feeling for what things were like, as well as giving dates and events like a regular history textbook might. It's pretty much non-academic as you requested, although it makes copious references to other texts (something like a fifth of the pages are bibliography).
Marc Morris is a great author whose books are quite accessible:
The Norman Conquest: The Battle of Hastings and the Fall of Anglo-Saxon England https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCM3WV4N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_TGZGB4FCWEPCXPMPZP4J
And if you're interested in the time before 1050,
The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England: 400 – 1066 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085GKJN1N/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_KBHF94GPNF4V6BAE8VVM
