Opening with a broad-ranging analysis of political and economic trends in medieval England, this 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 lived their lives. Graeme White emphasises the role of those people, from aristocrats and churchmen to peasant communities in shaping that landscape, demonstrating the links between key historical, demographic and archaeological developments in the English Middle Ages.
