Overview
The overall aims of this study were in two main parts:
- To record all villa sites in the North of England, specifically focusing on information relating to possible reasons for site locations.
- To analyse the aggregated data, possibly statistically, in order to establish patterns within sites to account for their distribution. This is purposely not an aim related to any one specific theory or test, as it was clear that trends would not become apparent until the first half of the study was complete.
The Gazetteer of Villa Sites
The data collection phase of this project produced a corpus of 65 villa sites. The author makes the claim in his dissertation that this gazetteer forms the most complete and reliable list of Northern villas that has ever been assembled. The gazetteer can be found in Appendix 1 of the dissertation or can be downloaded separately as a comma delimited file.
