Abstract:		 A reconstruction of the landscape around the `Abbot's Fish House' at Meare. The interdisciplinary approach includes both historical and landscape evidence. The techniques of historic landscape characterisation allows a series of distinct `landscape character areas' to be identified which reflect the impact that both lordship and the community had on the area. These wetlands appear to have been highly valued, both materially and symbolically. Key to the successful utilisation of this landscape was the control of water for navigation, fishing, flood prevention and powering mills -- both exploitation of its natural occurrence and its manipulation in the form of canals.
