Description
Based on an enormous amount of original work, this meticulously researched book opens a window onto medieval Hertfordshire and illuminates a significant aspect of the county's landscape history. All the data for each park is presented in a valuable gazetteer, together with the cartographic and field evidence.
`A positive treasure trove of information both on individual parks and on the workings of medieval parklands generally’ — Essex Gardens Trust; `Rowe takes a refreshing look at the origins, distribution and functions of early parks and is not afraid to challenge the findings of some well-respected landscape historians’ — Institute for Garden and Landscape History; `In many respects it is a model for future local studies’ — Journal of Historical Geography; `Excellent and beautifully produced’ — The Local Historian; `To create such a comprehensive regional overview based on evidence at the individual site level and gleaned from enquiries into local, regional and even national archives, requires patience, inspiration, dedication, and tenacity’ — Journal of Rural History
