Abstract
How long is a piece of string?
Toby Cave
4 - 5
Points out the variability of medieval standards for the measurement of distances, noting the significance of this for the study of medieval town planning. The length of customary units differed not just between localities, but also according to the specific task to which a unit was applied. Reference is made to the early sixteenth-century treatise on surveying by Richard Benese, Canon of Merton Priory.
Archaeology and heritage
Martin D Wilson
6 - 8
A personal account of expressing frustration at loopholes in the planning procedure for archaeology. On learning of a major development in the historic centre of Bedworth (Warwickshire), the author found that there was no provision for archaeological investigation. This is explained by the fact that the planning decisions are informed by SMR data that are not sufficiently comprehensive.
