Reviews
For those interested in medieval and later forest and woodland history - this is a rich collection; it is also a rich quarry for detail on the development and range of settlement types in such areas. All told, this is a volume of the highest standard; all associated with it should feel great pride. * MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT RESEARCH GROUP *
This latest Oxfordshire VCH volume expresses the far more thorough assessment of landscape and social history that is now characteristic of the Victoria County Histories. Moreover, as well as being a rich repository of local-historical detail, the information provided makes for a really fascinating read. * Oxoniensia *
