Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 32 pages. The fields of the farming landscape in Britain are the result of a long serie s of past efforts and achievements and have much to tell us about the life and w ork those who lived in the past. They have been won with infinite skill and labo r from wild nature and adapted to changing needs, so that their present boundari es may preserve the memory of a Roman road, a medieval peasant, a Hanoverian Act of Parliament or a Victorian magnate. Fields, Hedges and Ditches describes th e making and changing of the field system in Britain and the part played in it b y the engineer and the industrialist as well as by the farmer. It explains where the open-field system can still be seen in operation, how certain ridges and he dges recall the medieval ox-teams, why Thomas Becket and Shelley deserve a place in farming history, why the field patterns of some areas are irregular and othe rs orderly, and what evidence Victorian novels provide of the importance of land drainage.
