The excitement of these discoveries changed approaches to the medieval countryside. Sixty years later a new group of scholars went back to the same sites and debated their significance in the light of many advances in knowledge. Thousands of villages and smaller settlements were deserted in England and Wales during all periods, though many of them were abandoned between 1340 and 1750. Why were they deserted? Why did some villages survive while others were abandoned? Who was responsible for their desertion? What can we learn about life in the countryside from a study of the deserted sites?. Since the 1970s these questions have been set aside while interest has shifted to the origin and planning of villages, and the regional differences which led to a 'village England' developing across the middle of the country, while everywhere else people lived in hamlets and individual farms. Now seems the right moment to return to the subject and with fresh eyes reopen the important questions which were not fully answered in the early days. In this book ten leading archaeologists, geographers and historians have come together to revisit the deserted villages and reveal much new evidence and new thinking about these fascinating sites.Explorations in local and regional history ;v. 3.Extinct citiesEnglandMigration, InternalEnglandHistoryVillagesEnglandHistoryEnglandRural conditionsExtinct citiesMigration, InternalHistory.VillagesHistory.942.009732942/.009734Dyer Christopher1944-547300Jones Richard1969-1671487MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812650203321Deserted villages revisited4108151UNINA
