• The Making of the Landscape, Part I: The Medieval Countryside
  The bones of earlier landscapes are all around us, in villages and farms, in the ridge and furrow of medieval fields, in the patterns of parish boundaries. We'll look for the clues and unravel the evidence to shine a light on the medieval landscape.
• Understanding Manorial Records 1500-1900
  The manorial system survived in a residual form into the first quarter of the twentieth century. Even in the modern period its records can yield much valuable information, but they are not always easy to understand and are not used as much as they deserve
• What is Local History?
  The course will provide an introduction to the contents, methods, and sources of English Local History, with an emphasis on documentary evidence available for the study of the manor, the parish and the town.
• Animals on the Move: Transhumance in Early England
  Transhumance - moving grazing animals off the farm to pasture them for a season on uncultivated land of all kinds including moors, marshes, fens and woodlands - has been part of European farming for many centuries.
• The Pursuit of Pleasure: Leisure and Society c.1850-1950
