Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper attempts to demonstrate how fundamental water supplies were to the development of the High Wolds landscape from prehistory to the present century, discussing several basic conundrums, such as how the more remote Wold-top farmsteads obtained a sufficient regular supply of water; the greatest distance which people would travel to carry back drinking water; when the first attempt was made to trap and store roof-water; the prevalence of draw-wells in Roman and later times; what people did when ponds failed or water-tables fell during dry spells; and what attempts were made to purify drinking water taken from ponds used by animals. The role of local water supplies in dictating not only where Woldsmen lived, but how and if they lived, is highlighted. | ||
