Whyte (U. of East Anglia, UK) brings together landscape history and social history in this study of how individuals and communities experienced and invested meaning in medieval English landscapes. Through examination of cartographic material and records from the Westminster law courts, principally those of the Exchequer and Duchy of Lancaster covering the county of Norfolk, she describes small-scale case studies and sets them in context of larger regional and national change. She examines the transformation of the character of the religious landscape with the Reformation, the developing administrative and political role of the parish and its impact on understanding of the physical environment and people's sense of place, and fragmentation of local societies and expansion of capitalism in terms of enclosure and the development of manorial customs such as fold-course and warren rights.
