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. 410 0$aExplorations in local and regional history ;$vv. 3. 606 $aExtinct cities$zEngland 606 $aMigration, Internal$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aVillages$zEngland$xHistory 607 $aEngland$xRural conditions 615 0$aExtinct cities 615 0$aMigration, Internal$xHistory. 615 0$aVillages$xHistory. 676 $a942.009732 676 $a942/.009734 701 $aDyer$b Christopher$f1944-$0547300 701 $aJones$b Richard$f1969-$01491575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790781103321 996 $aDeserted villages revisited$93713443 997 $aUNINA
