This major innovative study explores the significance of a unique type of document that has hitherto been almost unknown to scholars. House-and-estate surveys - which add details of the village's houses, outhouses, and farm buildings to the standard evidence of an estate survey - survive for South-West England for the period from the end of the 16th to the mid-18th century. Large format. Burgundy cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations and colour photos. ISBN: 9781842172995. Previous owner's initials and date in ink to top corner of front endpaper. Else a lovely copy.
