Bath Spa University, its Medieval Landscape

Bath Spa university occupies the land of Newton Park, an old medieval estate. Two Anglo-Saxon, early medieval boundary charters touch Newton Park and it is these that give us an insight into the early medieval landscape of the park. These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past. But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches. #Archaeology #oldenglishcharters #antiquarians #historywalks #britishhistory
