Description:
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2021. Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. Offers a fundamental shift in how we view the ability of the Anglo-Saxons to undertake engineering works to change their physical environment. It is a scholarly reassessment of the idea that some of the hydraulic engineering in the fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire is far earlier than the traditional view that it was largely done in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It argues that the five fenland Benedictine abbeys of Crowland, Ely, Peterborough, Ramsey and Thorney planned and executed drainage works to provide agricultural land and transport networks for the movement of goods, especially Barnack building stone, in the tenth century. The work includes a bibliography and index, many maps and diagrams and 24 plates in colour. 160pp, colour plates, index.
