Strategic Locations

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 3 –16

[A central issue in rural history is what geographical units are to be studied. Single parishes suffer from problems of representativeness, while the alternative of generalising risks vagueness. The rationale for choosing the history of groups of parishes is stated and the localities underlying...
LitStream

Sources: Artefacts

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 17 –24

[A case is made for including physical remains in the landscape alongside standard documentary sources, with attention to the reciprocal support they provide. Topics included are abandoned industrial sites, religious buildings, country mansions and old farmsteads that can still be found. The loss...
LitStream

Sources: Documents

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 25 –35

[The nature of documentary sources is discussed, together with specific instances of their complex history of loss and survival. The difficulty of interpreting large collections of estate archives is mentioned and the discovery of the importance of farm record books is featured prominently. The...
LitStream

Post-war Time Shift

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 37 –44

[The scholar’s own position in time is as formative as his or her location in space. Despite the difficulty of identifying breaks in the continuous stream of events, a case is made for thinking that there was a highly significant transition in agricultural and landscape evolution during the early...
LitStream

Chalk Downs

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 47 –58

[The character of the landscape is extremely contingent; agricultural use fluctuates in the long-run according to price regime. Observations of apparently ancient chalk grassland, such as Danebury Down in Hampshire, illustrate the point. This habitat was dynamic, not fixed and ‘original’ in the...
LitStream

Heathland

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 59 –78

[Evidence is provided about an unsuspected but fluctuating reclamation of marginal land. Extensive patches of gorse on the New Forest heaths were found to be bounded by banks and ditches, revealing previous occupation of Crown land where it was officially disallowed. Parallels are drawn with...
LitStream

Lot Meads

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 79 –99

[The character and history of institutional change is expounded via lot meads, an overlooked category of communal farming. Haying rights in lot meads were allocated by the drawing of lots. A prime example was Yarnton Mead near Oxford, where first-hand experience of the last stage of a possibly...
LitStream

Drove Roads

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 101 –113

[This topic demonstrates the inadequacy of relying solely on landscape evidence. The criss-crossing of the country by former drove-ways, some of which were in use until the 1920s, does imply multiple overland movements of livestock. Major routes converged on the great fairs of south-central...
LitStream

Colonising the Hill Country

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 115 –122

[A slow-motion version of disruptive technology changed the historic character of the light-soiled uplands of southern England. A classic area flanked the drovers’ track called the Berkshire (now Oxfordshire) Ridgeway. It exemplified the shift in regional land use that occurred from the late...
LitStream

Parkland

Jones, Eric L.

Pages: 123 –142

[This chapter breaks the methodological rule by dealing with only a single site, Fairford Park, Gloucestershire. Its origins were not however unusual among parks in the region. The case shows what can be learned by close research where there is no large estate archive, merely limited written...
