Kenny Grieve is the trainer for this course and will be on hand to answer any questions before starting the course proper the following day.

The chapters in this section can be read alone without having to Section B The Heritage undertake any further work or carry out surveys. Chapters give several references for further reading, if you are new to the subject. This section includes the following chapters: 1. Introduction to Woods and Wooded Landscapes 2.Woodland Crafts and Industries 3.Woodland History and Archaeology 4.What is an Ancient Woodland? 5.Woodland Ecology and Biodiversity 6.Woodland Conservation Management The section should be seen as a reference section complementing and guiding your documentary research, field surveys, report writing, management and interpretation. 7 Woodland Heritage Manual - 2008 B1: Introduction to Woods and Wooded Landscapes Ian D. Rotherham, Mel Jones and Alastair Oswald The Wildwood The so-called ‘Wildwood’ was the natural woodland that grew up when the glaciers and ice sheets melted across Britain at the end of the Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. Frozen ground thawed and climatic conditions improved to the point where trees could move in again from those parts of Europe that had lain beyond the grip of ice.

  • COUNTRY CRAFTS of ENGLAND, a Select Bibliography
    COUNTRY CRAFTS of ENGLAND, A Select Bibliography. By Nick White, a member of The Tools And Trades History Society. 2016 INTRODUCTION INDEX OF TITLES AND AUTHORS INDEX OF TRADES & CRAFTS COVERED. BIBLIOGRAPHY Appendix 1 Books in the TATHS library Appendix 2 Other useful titles Appendix 3 What is an ISBN number ? Appendix 4 Sourcing Out of Print Books Copyright © 2016 Nick White. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior permission in writing from the copyright owner. INTRODUCTION. Having acquired about a dozen books about country crafts in my library, I decided to make a list of the many crafts covered and index them to each book. So for example to look into “Chair Bodging” one would know where to look without scanning the index of every book. This led me to look at the bibliographies in the books I had (those that had one). A number of new titles that I had not got came to light. A quick visit to www.abebooks.co.uk (see appendix 4) produced another half dozen “must haves” which I ordered. The bibliographies in these led to a few more! George Nicolle’s excellent Bibliography of the Woodworking Trades (1993) produced several more. I now have thirty seven titles which seems to cover most published since the war, the majority from the 1940’s to the 1980’s. There are also a few earlier ones included. This expanded my list considerably, and I decided to create a bibliography of my own.
