Making a Christian Landscape
How Christianity Shaped the Countryside in Early-medieval Cornwall, Devon and Wessex
This book presents a new interpretation of the development of early medieval landscapes. It stresses the importance of political and religious ideology in both the 'Celtic' west and the 'Anglo-Saxon' east. Using innovative new research methods, and making expert use of archaeology, place-name evidence, historical sources and land-use patterns, it challenges previous work on the subject by suggesting that the two regions have much in common. Its central argument is that Christian ideology played a key role in the formation of the early medieval landscape.
