  • Perceptions of Medieval Settlement, 'Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology', Oxford University Press (In Press)
    Chapter accepted in Kilby, SE;Gardiner, M, Perceptions of Medieval Settlement, 'Handbook of Later Medieval Archaeology', Oxford University Press (in press) Perceptions of Medieval Settlement Mark Gardiner and Susan Kilby The approach to the perception of landscape and settlement adopted by medieval archaeologists has been rather different to those of their colleagues working on the prehistoric period. To a large extent such differences can be attributed to the quality of the evidence. Many of the studied medieval buildings still survive, albeit often as ruins. The landscape with its pattern of roads, fields and farms can be largely reconstructed in broad terms, and sometimes in detail. This sort of material both informs our understanding of past perceptions of landscape, but also serves to constrain the way we might interpret it. The type of imaginative reconstruction advocated, for example by Tilley (2010, 30–31), in which the archaeologist places themselves within the landscape and responds to the experience has been practised only rarely for the historic period. It is not that medievalists lack the imagination of prehistorians, but rather they do not feel the need to embark upon discussions of their particular experience of place when it is possible instead to reflect upon how those in the Middle Ages may have perceived their surroundings. A simple contrast between the medievalists’ and the prehistorians’ approaches to the perception of landscape is, however, misleading. Embodiment or the experience of place using the senses of the body occupying and moving through a place has been practised by both groups, but with different emphases. To stand in a medieval building and look out at the vista beyond is to adopt a phenomenological approach.

In this case, readers are advised to consult the website of the relevant organisation. Email and website addresses, where known, are included in The Conduit, and users of the online version can click on the relevant hyperlinks. We aim to send The Conduit to every listed local society in Cambridgeshire, as well as to museums and other relevant organisations. If you belong to an organisation whose details are not included, or which would like to receive copies of The Conduit next year, please contact the Editor, who will add your organisation’s details to the next issue. Wherever possible the information has been checked by a responsible individual in the relevant organisation, and so should be up to date at the time of printing. Further details of the activities of listed organisations are often available on their websites. Web addresses are included where known. I would finally like to thank the editor of The Conduit, Simon Barlow of the Haddon Library, for all his hard work in compiling and producing The Conduit this year. It is a considerable undertaking, but one that is very greatly valued, both by members of Cambridge Antiquarian Society and by others who use it to inform themselves of events and activities of interest across our richly historical county.

He writes: The Discussion Paper ‘Area Conservation Strategy’ contains much to commend it. In particular, it envisages some redistribution of grant-aid to needier areas and indicates a greater readiness on the part of English Heritage to be more interventionist in local planning and conservation issues. The former may not be too welcome to those local authorities in whose areas Town Schemes and Section 10 grants have been available for some considerable time, while the latter may not please those local authorities where the level of conservation activity is fairly low. But for those who care about safeguarding the historic fabric of our cities, towns, and villages, these proposals are very welcome. It seems reasonable to expect that in those cases where grants have been available and taken up over a long period, a rolling programme of conservation schemes should become self-sustaining without the continued help of English Heritage as local confidence is built up. This would serve to free scarce resources for the hard-pressed areas, such as industrial towns in the north of England where there is often a rich architectural inheritance with inadequate funding to maintain it.

  • THE HEREWARD WAY a Walking Route Across the Fens Oakham to Thetford Also Part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham
    THE HEREWARD WAY a walking route across the Fens Oakham to Thetford also part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham The Hereward Way starts in the rolling landscape of Rutland, amid grass fields and stone villages. It passes Rutland Water, a new and large addition to our water resources. It continues to Stamford, and then Peterborough, through an increasingly level landscape - part of the River Nene basin. The route to March, Ely and beyond, is through the flat fen country, to strangers uninteresting, but to those who spend a day walking the paths, it is an area of peaceful beauty and hidden surprises. To the east of Ely, the character of the walk changes again as it enters the Brecklands of Norfolk, now mostly developed as forestry. The Hereward Way is based around the East Anglian rail/bus network with convenient stations or buses at regular intervals of about 16kms. This route is dedicated to two indomitable fenmen John and John ------------ooooooo0ooooooo------------ Acknowledgements The development of the Hereward Way would not have been possible without a great deal of help from a large number of people, and my grateful thanks are extended as follows. To those walkers in the surrounding region who have expressed an interest in, and walked, parts of the original route. To Dr & Mrs Moreton, Henry Bridge and John Andrews, for particular encouragement at the conception. To the local Groups of the Ramblers' Association in Thetford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Stamford and Northampton; and the Footpath Officers and other officers of the County and District Councils, who provided additional information and support.
