Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A detailed examination of the ability of 12th century writers to observe and describe topographical details, small objects and creatures of the natural world suggests that although some writers were hidebound by monastic and classical conventions, others were inspired by them to careful observation and intellectual argument. Among these are writers like William of Malmesbury, Eadmer, Gervase, Fitz Stephen (topography of London); and there is also a 12th century survey of the water system of Christ Church, Canterbury.
