A Frontier Landscape

The historic counties of Lancashire and Cheshire--at the periphery of the kingdom, both politically and economically--have been comparatively neglected in the history of the English landscape. This important book redresses the balance. N. J. Higham portrays North West England as a frontier landscape which, between c. 1050 and 1550, went through successive changes which have left a deep impression on the region today. Richly illustrated with maps and pictures of the North West's medieval landscapes and buildings, this book is more than a regional landscape history. It is a book which will change our perspective on the landscape history of medieval England.
