Description

Sutton Park, one of Europe's largest urban parks, has been set apart since its creation as a deer park in the 12th century. This unique history is revealed through a detailed study of earthworks, excavation, documentary research and other methods.

From prehistoric burnt mounds to Roman roads, and from medieval deer park boundaries to woodland management features, this book explores the complex landscape shaped by people living, travelling, and hunting in and around Sutton Park. The author also discusses how the park's present vegetation patterns result from its past uses.

In addition to its rich archaeological features, the book also considers the ongoing management of the park to protect its landscape for future generations. An appendix highlights particular features to visit, making this a valuable resource for anyone interested in history and the natural world.
