Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manor Book of Ottery Saint Mary The natural way to learn history is not to pore over introductory primers or general text-books, but to study the records of a familiar countryside or town, whether they be written on vellum and kept in the muniment chests of church, hall, and council chamber, or be traced in furrow and fence, cob and thatch, bricks and mortar over the face of the land. This little book contains the result of a series of schoolroom lessons in local history, made possible by a fortunate combination of the requisite material within the range of a day's journeying. It deals primarily with the survey of a manor made by an industrious steward in the seventeenth century, and makes no pretence to give a complete history. The difficulty of understanding the condition of even a small portion of a county during a selected century without reference to events occurring over a much larger extent of time and space led step by step to the putting together of the introductory chapter, in which the part might be seen to take its place in the larger drama of national development. But a full history of Ottery St Mary, as indeed of the whole county of Devon, yet remains to be written; and, in that history, the substance of the present study will be but an episode.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pebbles are usually found only on the beach, in the liminal space between land and sea. But what happens when pebbles extend inland and create a ridge brushing against the sky? Landscape in the Longue Durée is a 4,000 year history of pebbles. It is based on the results of a four-year archaeological research project of the east Devon Pebblebed heathlands, a fascinating and geologically unique landscape in the UK whose bedrock is composed entirely of water-rounded pebbles. Christopher Tilley uses this landscape to argue that pebbles are like no other kind of stone – they occupy an especial place both in the prehistoric past and in our contemporary culture. It is for this reason that we must re-think continuity and change in a radically new way by considering embodied relations between people and things over the long term. Dividing the book into two parts, Tilley first explores the prehistoric landscape from the Mesolithic to the end of the Iron Age, and follows with an analysis of the same landscape from the eighteenth into the twenty-first century. The major findings of the four-year study are revealed through this chronological journey: from archaeological discoveries, such as the excavation of three early Bronze Age cairns, to the documentation of all 829 surviving pebble structures, and beyond, to the impact of the landscape on local economies and its importance today as a military training camp. The results of the study will inform many disciplines including archaeology, cultural and art history, anthropology, conservation, and landscape studies.
