  • The Medieval Rural Landscape, C AD 1000–1500 by James Bond
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014).

  • Henley Rd, Marlow-On-Thames Sl7
    As you approach the tree-lined drive that winds beneath the striking Clock Tower, you’ll be in awe of this immense setting. The gleaming, whitewashed exterior of Danesfield House in Marlow sits among 65 acres of the most impressive landscaped gardens amidst the Buckinghamshire countryside. Purple wisteria climbs the walls of the building while the wonderful scent of lavender wafts among the grounds. Pretty fountains and waterfalls make Danesfield Gardens so quintessentially Eng- lish while the Italian Garden adds a touch of the Mediterranean. Brimming with history, Danesfield House was once home to the Intelligence Sec- tion of the Raf. In 1901 the house was re-built as a family home for Robert William Hudson, and in 1991, it first opened its doors as a hotel. Looking out towards the River Thames and the Chiltern Hills, Danesfield Hotel -ar guably enjoys the most spectacular country house setting in the UK, which is why it has become such a popular venue for weddings. There are 79 stunning rooms and suites to choose from, some with four poster beds or freestanding baths, and some with their own balcony and views across the Thames. There’s a welcome mix of both traditional country house style rooms and more contemporary design to choose from. Huge windows capture the mesmeris- ing scenery and luxurious furnishings dress the rooms beautifully. Danesfield House Hotel has earned itself an esteemed reputation for food, with three dining options on offer. Whether you prefer to dine in the magnificent Oak Room with its wood panelling, towering ceiling and huge fireplace, or look out onto the terrace and gardens from the Orangery with views to dine for, you can enjoy an incredible dining experience at Danesfield House in Marlow.

  • The South Oxfordshire Chilterns: an Overview
    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • The South Oxfordshire Chilterns (April 2021) • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress The South Oxfordshire Chilterns: An Overview This overview forms the introduction to VCH Oxfordshire XX (The South Oxfordshire Chilterns), which is complete and peer-reviewed, and will be published in 2021–2. The volume as a whole will cover Caversham, Checkendon, Crowmarsh Gifford, Eye and Dunsden, Goring, Ipsden, Mapledurham, Mongewell, Newnham Murren, North Stoke, Shiplake, and Whitchurch. Maps and illustrations in the final version will differ. ___________________________________________________________________ The twelve ancient parishes covered in this volume lie within a loop of the river Thames in the county’s south-east corner, straddling the Chiltern hills’ south-west end, and all formerly bordering Berkshire.1 Most formed long thin ‘strip’ parishes stretching from the river into the hills, encompassing scattered upland settlement and wood pasture as well as nucleated riverside villages – the site, in most cases, of the parish church. Though long interconnected, the hills and the vale still form distinct landscape zones, albeit now with some denser centres of upland settlement compared with earlier. Neighbouring riverside towns – Wallingford to the north-west, Reading to the south, and Henley-on-Thames to the north-east – exerted important influences from the Middle Ages, as did London some 40–50 miles to the east. The economy was predominantly agricultural until the 20th century, with woodland and woodland crafts playing a significant role, and local industry including small-scale brickmaking and quarrying alongside the usual rural trades. Gentrification gained momentum from the mid 19th century, accelerated by the arrival of the railway from 1840 and especially affecting the area’s attractive riverside villages, which saw extensive new building by wealthy incomers.
