A review by sminismoni
England's Villages An Extraordinary Journey Through Time by Dr Ben Robinson

Did not finish book.

Not really what I was expecting so DNF at 40%. I thought it was a social and cultural history of England's villages. Instead, this focusses on the geography, architecture and archeaology, and seems very much focussed on the buildings rather than the society that formed these villages. Endless descriptions of ridge and furrow fields, parish church design and decoration, ordinance maps, the Ligar system of topographical assessment. Blah. Reads like an encyclopedia. Not for me
