    Treasure Houses of Southern England

    TREASURE HOUSES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE STATELY HOMES OF ENGLAND MAY 6TH - 15TH 2018 We are pleased to present the fi rst in a two-part series that delves into the tales and traditions of the English aristocracy in the 20th century. The English class system really exists nowhere else in the world, mainly because England has never had the kind of violent social revolution that has taken away the ownership of the land from the families that have ruled it since medieval times. Vast areas of the country are still owned by families that can trace their heritage back to the Norman knights who accompanied William the Conqueror. Here is our invitation to discover how this system has come about and to experience the fabulous legacy that it has BLENHEIM PALACE bequeathed to the nation. We have included a fascinating array of visits, to houses both great and small, private and public, spanning the centuries from the Norman invasion to the Victorian era. This spring, join Discover Europe, and like-minded friends, for a look behind the scenes of TREASURE HOUSES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND. (Note: Part II, The Treasure Houses of Northern England is scheduled to run in September.) THE COST OF THIS ITINERARY, PER PERSON, DOUBLE OCCUPANCY IS: LAND ONLY (NO AIRFARE INCLUDED): $4580 SINGLE SUPPLEMENT: $ 960 Airfares are available from many U.S. cities. Please call for details.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Crowmarsh Gifford (Oct. 2016) • economic history • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress CROWMARSH GIFFORD Economic History From the Middle Ages Crowmarsh’s inhabitants combined farming with a wide variety of rural trades and crafts. The village’s medieval market benefited from its proximity to Wallingford, taking some trade from the town despite burgesses’ complaints, while an annual medieval fair continued in the 19th century, when it specialized in horses and cheese. Other non-agricultural occupations included quarrying and ironworking, the local Wilder family’s successful iron foundry (established c.1868) continuing into the 21st century. Even so most inhabitants were engaged in agriculture, and following the inclosure of the open fields in the 18th century a sizeable number of landless labourers were employed on the parish’s several tenant-run farms. From the later 19th century most of Crowmarsh’s farmland was incorporated into the Coldharbour estate, which in 2016 was the parish’s only working farm. Traditional farming practices were typical of the Chilterns, combining sheep and arable on the higher ground with cattle rearing and dairying on the heavier soils by the Thames. The Agricultural Landscape In the late Anglo-Saxon period Crowmarsh probably shared a field system with the estate centre at Benson. If so its own open fields were presumably separated when Crowmarsh manor was created in the early-to-mid 11th century, as suggested by indentations (almost certainly derived from open-field furlongs) along the Benson–Crowmarsh boundary.1 In the Middle Ages there may have been a two-field system,2 which by the 17th century had been subdivided into half a dozen fields called North, South, Church, Crowbrook, Hitching, and Stockbridge.3 By the 18th century piecemeal inclosure (recorded from the medieval period) had confined the open fields to c.75 a.
