This book is a pioneer study which traces the chronological development of the English landscape from pre-Roman days to the eve of the Black Death, onwards to the Industrial Revolution and up to the present day. With the help of photographs and charts Professor Hoskins discusses the origins of Devonshire hedge-banks and lanes, the ruined churches in Norfolk and lost villages in Lincolnshire, Somerset’s marshland ditches, Cornwall’s remote granite farmsteads, and the lonely pastures of upland Northamptonshire.
