Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper presents the results of recent research into the manor of Alciston, particularly the manorial buildings during the 14th century. Contemporary descriptions of the manorial buildings are placed in the context of the agricultural landscape and village. Observations of the current landscape and standing structures have helped to inform this study. This analysis reveals how the manorial curia may have appeared to a visitor in the later Middle Ages. It shows how construction material was used to draw the viewer’s attention towards certain buildings. It also shows that the courtyard was organised to optimise farming practices, rather than as a display of lordly power. Alciston was one of the most important manors in the Battle Abbey estate and was regularly visited by the abbot. Studying the buildings of its curia provides new insights into life in medieval Sussex. | ||||||
