Abstract
Early fields and medieval furlongs: excavations at Creake Road, Burnham Sutton, Norfol...
Sarah Percival
Tom Williamson
1 - 17
The article presents evidence from excavations to support the argument that the basic framework of the medieval landscape had prehistoric or Roman origins. It suggests that the distinctive `co-axial' furlong patterns found in parts of north Norfolk may in part have developed from organised field systems of late prehistoric or Roman date.
Small fields and wet land: inheritance practices and the transmission of real...
Gillian Draper
18 - 45
The article argues that inheritance practices in Kent must be examined in relation to family, household and tenure under specific conditions. Deeds of the manors of Christ Church Priory, Canterbury, provide ways to examine structural changes during the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, whereas studies of other areas have largely utilised manorial court rolls from the later middle ages. The locality investigated is the Romney Marshes, which formed a distinctive pays within Kent, partly because of the presence of the Cinque Ports and other smaller ports.
Taming the fells: parliamentary enclosure and the landscape in north...
Ian D Whyte
46 - 61
Parliamentary enclosure is generally discussed in terms of the removal of open field arable and lowland commons. However, extensive areas of upland commons were also enclosed under parliamentary act in the uplands of northern England. The article examines the context and character of parliamentary enclosure in this region with a focus on Cumbria. It considers the amount and timing of enclosure, the distinctive aspects of the work of the commissioners in upland areas and the characteristic features of enclosure landscapes among the fells.
Mapping improvement: reshaping rural landscapes in the eighteenth centu...
Jon Gregory
62 - 82
The article explores the nature of landscape `improvement' in the eighteenth century through a detailed examination of a selection of maps produced for the owners of the Merton estate in southwest Norfolk. The author argues that although the study of cartographic evidence is one of the foundations of landscape history, limited attention has been paid to the significance of the maps themselves and the manner in which they could influence the way landowners thought about their surroundings. It is suggested that careful consideration of contemporary maps can shed light on the motives underlying rural landscape change in this period..
Planned villages in south-west Scotland, 1730--1855: analysing functional characteristics
Lorna J Philip
83 - 107
The proliferation of planned villages in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scotland was directly related to the social and economic era referred to as the Enlightenment. The article examines the functional characteristics of these planned villages and presents a case study of southwest Scotland, where villages with a diverse range of functions were developed between approximately 1730 and 1855 at coastal and inland sites. The author argues that these villages were dynamic settlements whose characteristics, functions and position within the local urban and economic hierarchies changed, often over short periods of time, and that their functional characteristics were more complex than has previously been suggested.
