Assessment of the life and work of the author of The making of the English landscape (Hodder & Stoughton, 1955).
The changing ancient landscape: south-west England c. 1700--1900
Sam Turner
18 - 34
The article argues that the rural landscape of Devon and Cornwall, long seen as having an `ancient landscape' little affected by the changes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, nevertheless has a very different appearance today than that of 1,000 years ago. It outlines the main changes to the farming landscape of medieval fields and rough grazing ground that occurred between 1700--1900, with some detailed examples.
Springs, woods and transhumance: reconstructing a Pennine landscape during later pr...
T Laurie
73 - 102
The article explores evidence for the nature of the Wensleydale, Swaledale and Swale/Tees-Greta Uplands in later prehistory (from 4000 BC onwards). It portrays an environment with a complex mosaic of woodlands, different from the modern landscape but with important continuities. Human activity was often linked to the sites of springs and other water features. Evidence from pollen reports, from fragments of semi-natural woodland and from tree remains in blanket peats allows the reconstruction of a variety of woodland environments. There is evidence of transient human activity across the area from the end of the Mesolithic to the establishment of settled farming communities at about 1200 BC. This activity is found in the vicinity of springs rising below the uppermost limestone scars and at passes across the interfluves, and the article discusses the distribution and location of three categories of evidence -- lithic scatters, rock art and burnt mounds -- in the context of the disposition, composition and density of the surrounding woodlands.
