One of the first attempts at reconstructing the landscape of
pre-Conquest England in minute detail, this book is now available
in paperback for the first time. Here the evidence is examined for
the West Midlands - the counties of Worcestershire, Warwickshire
and Gloucestershire, much of which formed the Anglo-Saxon kingdom
of the Hwicce. The administrative framework of England was
established in the pre-Conquest period, within a geographical
setting which influenced the basic resources available in different
regions. Della Hooke reveals the intimate local landscape through
the medium of place names, contemporary documents and
archaeological evidence. Her detailed picture brings the
Anglo-Saxon countryside very much to life. The patterns which
emerge in this period go far to explain the nature of later
medieval patterns of settlement and field systems, and provide the
key to understanding territorial organisation in the region.
