Geography and Sources
The second chapter describes the physical character of the study area in detail as a framework for understanding the analysis supplied in the chapters to follow. It also sets out the main sources drawn upon in the book, notably the physical remains of archaeology and the fabric of the historic landscape itself, as well as documentary sources such as Anglo-Saxon charter bounds, manorial records, deeds, legal records, and maps, which yield data abo…
The Early Modern Period, 1530–1650
The final main chapter looks at the early modern period, assessing how far it saw a ‘Reformation of the landscape’ and a secularization and commodification of the way land was valued as a resource. It is argued that, as earlier, a group sense of attachment to place was strongest in vibrant, socially ‘open’ settlements with considerable shared spaces, the kind of settlements found mainly in the vale part of the hundred. Village social space is exa…
Peasant perceptions of landscape Ewelme hundred, South Oxfordshire, 500-1650
This volume marks a change in the areas of landscape history and the history of everyday life, offering a sustained analysis of how ordinary medieval and early modern people experienced and perceived their material environment and constructed their identities in relation to the places they lived, focussing on the area of Ewelme hundred
The Buildings of England
Oxfordshire: North and West forms part of the justly celebrated ‘Pevsner’ series, which has done so much to advance knowledge of and care for historic buildings. An attractive and well-illustrated
Openness and Closure in the Later Medieval Village
There is a growing scholarly interest in the daily life and perceptions of ordinary medieval people, yet there has been little attempt to conceptualise the social space of the rural settlements in which the great majority of the population lived. This article examines how a village or hamlet in England might have been used and perceived in the later Middle Ages (c.1200 to 1500), especially in terms of access and permeability-in other words how op…
The Later Medieval Inquisitions Post Mortem
The Inquisitions post mortem (IPMs) are a truly wonderful source for many different aspects of late medieval countryside and rural life. They have recently been made digitally accessible and interrogatable by the Mapping the Medieval Countryside project, and the first fruits of these developments are presented here. The chapters examine IPMs in connection with the landscape and topography of England, in particular markets and fairs and mills; and…
Anglo-Norman Parks in Medieval Ireland, by Fiona Beglane
Fiona Beglane’s is the first book-length treatment of medieval parks in Ireland, all of which were established by English incomers, mainly in the thirteenth century. (Beglane uses the term ‘Anglo-Norman’, but it is clear that, as a group, the French-speaking invaders identified themselves as ‘English’ from the beginning of their involvement in 1169–70.) The basic methodology is modelled on Leonard Cantor’s studies of English medieval parks. Indiv…
People and houses in South Oxfordshire, 1300–1650
This article is one outcome of an intensive study of inhabitants' perceptions of landscape in south Oxfordshire over the long period 500–1650. Analysis of late medieval and early modern vernacular buildings was an important part of the research project, in particular for working out how houses might have been used as part of the wider social space of the village. The study area, the fourteen parishes of the former hundred of Ewelme, is particular…
The South Oxfordshire Project
Historians and archaeologists are increasingly interested in moving beyond landscape reconstruction and economics to investigate how past inhabitants perceived their environment. This reflects the subject's intrinsic interest and an awareness of the importance of decisions made by ordinary people in shaping the development of the countryside. However, the evidence available makes it difficult to uncover mentalities and attitudes. To date, most at…
