Medieval Fenland
Wed 15 January 2014 - Wed 12 February 2014
Institute of Continuing Education
The medieval fenland has been described both as a vast, watery wasteland and as a rich, productive environment. Which was it and how did it evolve? This course explores the impact on the landscape of the fenland monasteries and, in particular, of the abbey and bishopric of Ely.
An important theme will be the impact on the landscape of both highly-structured manorialism and an independent peasantry, and the extent to which there was collaboration between them.
15 January: The physical and monastic geography of medieval fenland
22 January: Environment management for medieval profit
29 January: The manorial economy in the landscape
5 February: The peasant economy in the landscape
12 February: The influence of monastic houses on the landscape: conclusions through the case study of the Ely Coucher Book of 1251
This course will be supported by our virtual learning environment (VLE). You will be able to download course material, contact your tutor and talk to fellow students via the web at a time and place that’s convenient to you.
Cost: £150
