520 $a"The landscape of medieval England was the product of a multitude of hands. While much of the power to share that landscape lay with the wealthy--the Crown, nobility, large religious houses--this book also highlights the contribution of local communities, for example in the layout of fields and settlements and the funding of parish churches. There is analysis, too, of the impact of factors such as the rise and fall in population and developments in technology. Opening with a wide-ranging survey of the political and economic background to England's medieval landscape, the book then offers a guide to an understanding of farmland, fisheries and forests, of towns, villages and hamlets, of roads, waterways and bridges, of buildings associated with religion and fortification, and of many other features of the environment in which people led their lives. It concludes with perceptions of an 'end' to the medieval landscape under Henry VIII, in contemporary eyes and with the benefit of hindsight."--Page 4 of cover.
