WEST COUNTRY FARMS: HOUSE-AND-ESTATE SURVEYS, 1598-1764

by Nat Alcock; Cary Carson

Published by Oxbow Books. 1st. 2007

Slightly better than very good condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. 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.

Previous owner's initials and date in ink to top corner of front endpaper. Else a lovely copy.
