Description
The medieval English landscape was shaped by many hands, with the Crown, nobility, and religious houses holding significant power. However, this study also highlights the contributions of ordinary people, such as peasants who built rural settlements and funded parish churches. A broad analysis of medieval England's political and economic trends sets the stage for exploring how farming, rural settlement, towns, the Church, and fortification impacted the landscape. The book examines these themes through original case studies, revealing the complex factors that shaped the medieval landscape. The study concludes by tracing the end of the medieval landscape, from the dissolution of monasteries to the growth of towns and the ongoing enclosure of fields.
