Abstract
Farmsteads and landscape: towards an integrated view
Jeremy Lake
B Edwards
1 - 36
Report on work in progress to broaden analysis of the contribution made by historic farmsteads to the character and diversity of landscapes, using existing data to adopt a more question-based approach that examines the whole resource in its wider landscape context. The article explores how techniques in digital mapping and recent developments in characterisation can enable us to understand and respond to farmstead change strategically. It is argued that a pilot project in Hampshire, now being extended into Sussex and the Weald of Kent, has demonstrated that the density and time-depth of farmsteads as well as the rates of survival of different types of steading and building are related to patterns of historically-conditioned landscape character and type, and that this is contributing to a more integrated and richly-textured understanding of both buildings and landscapes.
Mapping field patterns: a case study from eastern England
Tom Williamson
55 - 67
Article presenting and discussing a map showing variations in the character of field boundaries in eastern England. It suggests that the familiar distinction between `planned' and `ancient' countryside can in some ways serve to obscure aspects of landscape variation; and argues that particular kinds of field pattern are strongly correlated with soil types and other environmental factors. It also discusses some of the limitations of current `historic landscape characterisation' exercises.
Mapping the towns: English Heritage's urban survey and characterisati...
Roger M Thomas
68 - 92
Since 1992, English Heritage has been supporting a major programme of map-based survey, analysis and characterisation of urban landscapes in England. There are three main strands in this work: intensive surveys (involving the creation of Urban Archaeological Databases) for the historic cores of thirty-five major historic towns and cities; surveys of smaller towns on a county-by-county basis (Extensive Urban Survey); and a modified version of Extensive Urban Survey, drawing heavily on Historic Landscape Characterisation methodology, for major industrial conurbations, such as Merseyside and the Black Country. Over half the country (some 700 individual towns) has now been covered by this work). The paper outlines the context and aims of the programme; describes the methodologies being used; reviews progress to date; and highlights the value of surveys as a resource for academic research as well as for conservation and planning.
